It began in Mönchengladbach in 1978 with the development and serial production of a ticket machine, and in almost three decades we have become one of the world’s leading developers, producers and providers of ticketing technology thanks to a wealth of ideas in engineering and strategic foresight in management.

Considering everything that has moved us forward in the last 30 years, our focus has always been on one thing: our clients and what they want from us. However, a modern and innovative company can no longer do justice to its clients’ demands these days if all it does is develop and provide “front end devices” on rail platforms or in vehicles. The focus has to be on the big picture – in other words the initiation and architecture of complete systems that meet the needs of our clients. For the people who work for Scheidt & Bachmann this means providing a service right from the start – from the initial discussion with the client and a needs analysis through to the implementation and maintenance of tailored system solutions.

As such, needs-optimised system solutions as a whole are increasingly more than the sum of their individual parts. However, without exceptional and field proven components no one is capable of creating a functioning complete system either. Scheidt & Bachmann looks back on a tradition of many years with a comprehensive portfolio of constantly developing components and subsystems as well as expertise in system architecture acquired in numerous projects.

And that’s not all: our system solutions not only meet the required worldwide standards today – they will do so in future, too. For example, a modern ticketing management system conceived several years ago could easily have a “be in – be out” component, developed very recently by Scheidt & Bachmann, added to it next year. In the world of systems architecture by Scheidt & Bachmann one solution simply fits the other today and tomorrow.
