Originating from the merger of two traditional companies
ATEK Drive Solutions has emerged from the merger of two established specialists: the ATEK Drive Technology Willi Glapiak GmbH as an experienced transmission manufacturer and the German van Rietschoten & Houwens GmbH as a recognized brake expert. Complemented by additional expertise in engine manufacturing, we now unite comprehensive know-how under one roof.
