About this company

On November 16th 1990 Ischebeck Titan Ltd officially registered its Formwork and Ground Engineering divisions within the UK. Ischebeck Titan Ltd has evolved over 30 years into an international group of companies. The company strives to maintain a family-centric culture, building on the strong ethos of its German parent company and manufacturer, Friedr Ischebeck Gmbh, founded in 1881 and now in its 5th generation of the Ischebeck family. The company operates from a distribution centre and head office in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire. All research and development, together with ongoing project design and detail is carried out from a design office facility in the North of England. A qualified team of sales engineers service the business via a national sales network. Our design and sales teams work closely with our customers at an early stage of project development. This way, ultimately the most suitable solution is adopted and maximum efficiency is inherited by the build programme. All detail drawings are colour coded for ease of reading on site and utilise Auto Cad, together with bespoke equipment macros. We also use AutoCAD Revit for 3D work. The ‘Span’ beam programme is utilised to produce calculations in order to substantiate the structural integrity of the proposal and RSTAB is used for more complex structural analysis. Health and safety product toolbox talks are made available together with on-site product training. Live sites receive regularly ongoing technical support throughout the life of the project.
