History
Experience and competence has been our recipe for success for more than 40 years. Derap AG was founded in 1969. Since 1992, the company has operated as a planning and design office with its headquarters in Heimberg (BE) in Switzerland. Derap AG was taken over by Peter Keller in 1998. In recent years, Derap AG has taken on ever more challenging projects. Our employees bring experience in the monorail and cable car industries with them from previous employers (Habegger AG and von Roll AG). Thanks to high performance hardware and software solutions, we also undertake complex development and calculation jobs today. The foundations for Derap AG's success are the continuous training of the employees, modern tools and the experience of our team. Thanks to this, we have implemented cost-effective and interesting solutions for projects in transportation, systems and mechanical engineering, and prototype development in recent decades.
Business policy
Derap AG is a planning and engineering office specialising in transport systems, systems engineering, design and development. Our core businesses are special transport systems, monorails and cable cars. These are complemented by developments in the fields of ski bindings, test benches, prototypes and custom designs. Other services which our company offers are advice and project management. We are also happy to carry out commissionings, consultations, research and development, calculations and design jobs. We also train apprentices and thus make our contribution to vocational training. In addition, we provide process-oriented quality management systems.
Management system
We apply our process-oriented quality management consistently. We continuously train our employees, consistently comply with test planning and regularly carry out internal and external quality audits. The processes and their documentation are thus constantly monitored and maintained to the highest standards.
