How it all started...

Tecair was established in 1997 but the company originates from way earlier. Here is how it all started...

The history of Tecair originates from 1880 when a plumber named Abraham Bijlenga started a company in the center of the dutch town Leeuwarden. His son Tjeerd took over the activities from the "Bijlenga machinefabrieken" and in the 1920's they started to produce cheese-processing equipment. The name Tebel is short for: TeBeL Tjeerd Bijlenga Leeuwarden (the telegram-adres of the company)

During the sixties the Tebel-company was sold several times. Owners in order were CCF, Leeuwarden (Friesland Coberco dairy Foods), Alfa Laval and at last a combination of " Faively, Econosto and the president at that time " by ways of a management buy-out.

Finally this president became the sole owner of Tebel.it's nice to know that the name Tebel never vanished during this period of almost a century.

Meanwhile "Tebel" designed and produced systems and components for the " rollingstock" market. Complete doorsystems, various pneumatic components and magnetic railbrakes were delivered nationaly and internationaly.

In the year 1992 Tebel decided to buy one of Philips establishments (TPME) in Leeuwarden and moved to this new location. The name was changed into the "Transferia Technologies Group"."Transferia Pneumatics" was one of it's divisions to sell pneumatic parts and components.

Meanwhile the group was joined by Transferia Beclawatt (Australia) and Transferia NoordNed (= Noord Nederlandsche Machinefabriek Winschoten)(Netherlands).

In 1996 most of the group companies were sold to " Sab Wabco, Sweden" and continued their activities as " Sab Wabco Tebel Technologies". Only " Transferia NoordNed " and "transferia pneumatics" remained unsold.

Both were joint together in the city of Winschoten and tried to survive as " Noord Nederlandse Machinefabriek also known as NoordNed. Sabwabco was one of the main customers for pneumatic parts because they were unable to produce themselve.

Unfortunately and due to various causes NoordNed went bankrupt in August 1997.

Mr. M. Markus and Mr. K. Zaagemans bought the pneumatics division and started their own company on the first of October: TECAIR was born.
