We as CTS

CTS is a leading development partner and manufacturer of roof systems for the international automotive industry. From our development facility in Bietigheim-Bissingen and our production facility in Poland, we develop sophisticated roof concepts for convertibles and other vehicle applications across all segments.

Our product range includes soft tops, retractable hard tops, folding roofs, and kinematic mechanisms. By combining modern lightweight engineering, functional perfection, and sophisticated design, we create roof modules that meet the highest standards for weight, quality, and integration. Aluminum and magnesium die-cast components, as well as vehicle-specific package designs, enable optimal adaptation to the respective vehicle architecture.

Additional sound and thermal insulation measures enhance comfort and contribute to a premium driving experience. The result is innovative, technically advanced products that are consistently tailored to our customers’ needs.

Vision

CTS is shaping the future of open-top driving. With groundbreaking kinematics, intelligent mechatronics, and innovative engineering solutions, we develop roof and kinematic systems that set new standards for design, comfort, and efficiency. Together with our customers, we create vehicle innovations that combine emotion, technology, and sustainability.

Sustainability & ESG

Every technical solution also contributes to the vehicle’s efficiency, weight reduction, and sustainability. CTS thus combines technological innovation with sustainable added value—across the entire value chain.

For CTS, sustainability is not a separate issue, but an integral part of our product and corporate strategy. In the automotive sector in particular, our customers face the challenge of reducing emissions and weight while simultaneously improving functionality—and this is exactly where we make our contribution.

In the Environment sector, our focus is on sophisticated engineering solutions that directly contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions, efficient kinematic and drive systems with low energy consumption, and environmentally responsible development and production.

We meet the highest quality and process standards and are certified in accordance with the relevant automotive industry standards. These certifications confirm our consistent focus on quality, continuous improvement, and reliable processes throughout the entire value chain.

They form the foundation of our collaboration with leading companies in the automotive industry and underscore our commitment to meeting the highest standards for products, processes, and innovation.
