Company Profile
The TRIWO Group has been serving customers throughout automotive development processes since 2003.
The former NATO-Airfield was previously used by an automotive manufacturer for in-house tests. The 3 km runway was utilised to test a wide variety of vehicle components.
Ultimately it has been through successful partnerships, that our understanding of our customers’ needs and high quality requirements has been intensified. We are continuously developing our concept and proving ground to reflect this.
Today we offer a comprehensive range of tracks and facilities at our manufacturer independent proving grounds for international and national automotive manufacturers and suppliers to test vehicle components and systems.
