About TEUPEN
TEUPEN Maschinenbau GmbH, headquartered in Gronau (Westphalia), is a manufacturer of tracked aerial work platforms for height access. The product range includes the LEO series with working heights from 12.00 m (LEO12T) to 38.60 m (LEO39GTplus) as well as the TE720 with a working height of 71.60 m and a reach of 42.00 m; in addition, insulated versions (LEO19iGT, LEO23iGT) are offered for work up to 46 kV. Production follows flow principles on a single assembly line in lot size 1, so that all product series can be manufactured in free mix; an aerial work platform consists of more than 10,000 individual parts. Certified standard parts from brand-name suppliers are used, predominantly from German supply structures; the materials used are steel and aluminum. The machines are used in industry, trades and construction. The company employs more than 200 staff and, in addition to its headquarters in Gronau, operates a sales and service branch in Charlotte, North Carolina (USA). Since 2024, TEUPEN has been part of the US company Altec.
