CT-Concept Technologie AG was founded as an engineering company by Heinz Rüedi in October 1986. Since then, it has developed into the world’s leading supplier of IGBT gate-drive units for medium and high-power applications, creating a long and successful track record in the market.

 “I’m pleased to see the company evolving from a small to medium-sized company, playing a major role in the globally important task of enhancing energy generation and efficiency” says Heinz Rüedi. The family-owned company has expanded very quickly over the past few years. “Our products are best in class! As a former design engineer for inverter systems, I know what it takes to create a successful design. It’s not only a matter of delivering a working solution to specification, but also of performing the development work at a specific cost and on time,” Heinz Rüedi stated.

“Leading customers in the markets of industrial drives, renewable energies, traction and automotive equipment use CONCEPT gate drivers and supply inverter systems based on the proven reliability and performance of CONCEPT driver technology” he continues.

With the increasing competitive pressure on system suppliers, CONCEPT can contribute to their success as a neutral supplier of gate drive units competing on cost with any in-house discrete solution as well as on superior performance and reliability. With the outstanding SCALE-2 technology ramping up sharply since 2008, CONCEPT has extended its market reach, thus underpinning its leading position on the gate drive market.

According to Heinz Rüedi, CONCEPT’s key success factors are “high integration in ASICs, extensive experience in power semiconductors and inverter systems as well as a highly ambitious team”.

And what are the company’s future plans? “We’re all set for further growth!” states Wolfgang Ademmer, CEO of CONCEPT, and explains further: “We have a stunningly successful SCALE-2 product generation and can rely on the investments we have made in the past, like setting up a worldwide distribution network. We can also count on the essential trust that we have built up with our customers – and we keep innovating.”

As the product lifecycle in the market extends up to 20 years, CONCEPT is sure to remain a reliable neutral source for customers looking for intelligent gate drive solutions.
