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
As a family-owned Swiss SME, we offer outstanding developments and systems with a focus on transportation systems. Thanks to our core competencies in project management and engineering, we implement projects according to your specifications.
Our actions are consistently guided by quality and sustainability. We maintain collaborative relationships with our clients and support the development of our employees.
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.
