Company Description

ZTR Control Systems designs and manufactures innovative monitoring and control systems for railway and industrial applications.

In the mid-1980’s five coworkers suggested an idea for a new product that was ultimately rejected by the company they worked for. Fuelled with determination and armed with innovation, this group founded ZTR Control Systems in London in 1987. Today, their global high-tech company continues to develop new and innovative solutions for off-road industrial equipment markets, specifically in Locomotive Modernization and Industrial Internet of Things (IoT). The Railway division is recognized as Locomotive Modernization Experts, providing solutions to improve the performance and reliability of aging locomotives. The Industrial IoT division provides intelligent remote equipment monitoring for many markets including construction rental equipment, oil & gas and railway. Innovation is where they began and it’s the thread that joins us today. Every employee is encouraged to think creatively and this approach is what provides ZTR with a competitive advantage.
