#JOINTIMPACT: PALFINGER and TTControl: A decade of innovation and collaboration

As part of our #IMPACT25 campaign, we are proud to highlight the long-standing collaboration between TTControl and PALFINGER, a global leader in innovative crane and lifting solutions. Since 2011, TTControl, a joint venture of TTTech and HYDAC International, has been a strategic partner for PALFINGER, providing cutting-edge control systems that drive the company's advanced machinery.
The partnership began with the development of the custom-specific control unit "PALTRONIC 40" for PALFINGER's small loader crane range. This initial project laid the foundation for a deeper business relationship, leading to PALFINGER utilizing the modular high-end mobile control unit "TTC 590" for their new "PALTRONIC 180" control system. Today, the "TTC 590" is the heart of "PALTRONIC 180", showcasing the reliability and innovation that TTControl brings to the table.
The collaboration with TTControl, leveraging their expertise in functional safety and system solutions, has been beneficial for PALFINGER's success. This partnership has supported PALFINGER in staying ahead of industry trends, particularly in automation and smart technologies. As the crane and lifting industry evolves, the partnership between TTControl and PALFINGER continues to drive forward-thinking solutions that meet the demands of the future.

What is #IMPACT25?
In 2023, TTTech celebrated its 25th anniversary. We could have used this opportunity to look back at our past and reflect on how far we have come. But we have always been a forward-looking company. While we take pride in our past achievements, our focus is the future.

As Peter Drucker said: “The best way to predict the future is to create it”. Taking a proactive stance towards the future, we ask: How will we at TTTech, with our team, our innovations, and solutions create a positive impact in the 25 years to come? How will we live and work together in a society that is becoming increasingly automated and digitalized? What will our business models be? How will we work together as a team? What kind of world do we want to leave to the next generation? The future is in our DNA – we are not passengers, we are in the driver’s seat – we create IMPACT.
Therefore, we have chosen #IMPACT25 as the guiding theme for our 25th-anniversary celebration. Over the course of next year, we have many exciting initiatives lined up, each one dedicated to embodying the spirit of IMPACT. These initiatives will drive innovation, create market momentum, show people's impact, advocate for positive change, foster collaboration, and unite our incredible team. You will hear from our founders, our customers, our employees, and learn from leading industry experts that are shaping technology megatrends like connectivity, automation, safety & security and sustainability. Together they will tell the past, present, and future story of TTTech to resonate with your minds and hearts and inspire positive action.
Watch this space as it grows and transforms – just like TTTech.
