Motto: "Only those who continue to develop can truly make a difference."
For over two decades, Volker Trapp the face and strategic voice of Move & Traffic Controls GmbH (MTC). As a founding member in 1999 , he recognized a market gap early on: While others relied on standard sensors from automation technology, he had the vision sensor solutions specifically for traffic engineering . This determination was the starting point for MTC – a company that is now considered one of the market leaders in door area monitoring and vehicle underbody inspection.
Visionary and doer
As Managing Director, Volker Trapp responsible for the strategic direction and operational management of the company. This includes developing long-term corporate goals, organizing internal processes, financial planning, and leading the entire team. He is particularly active in sales and internationalization – with the clear aim of bringing MTC solutions to new markets and increasing their global visibility.
Technological progress with foresight
One of his greatest achievements, in his view, is the established market position of MTC products: “We have firmly established ourselves in the field of vehicle underbody scanners and with our Trafficon – and with well-thought-out, robust solutions that offer real added value for our customers.” Whether hands-free door opening or precise detection of hazards under vehicles – MTC develops technologies that are not only efficient but also safe.
Team orientation and innovative spirit
What does Volker Trapp value most in daily interactions? Constructive teamwork and a culture of questioning. At MTC, the status quo isn't simply accepted – it's questioned, improved, and rethought. "Our employees contribute their ideas. This diversity makes us strong," says Trapp. For him, one thing is certain: innovation begins in the team.
Down-to-earth in his private life – with an eye for what's essential
Volker Trapp seeks a balance to his entrepreneurial responsibilities. He enjoys hiking, cycling , or immersing himself in new worlds with a good book – preferably fiction – to gain distance from the technical aspects and discover new perspectives.
A look into the future
Volker Trapp has a clear vision for the coming years : “I want MTC to continue growing – not just economically, but above all as a team . Everyone here should feel like they're part of something meaningful.” At the same time, he wants to tap into new markets, find new applications, and raise the international profile of MTC solutions. Because one thing is certain: the journey of Move & Traffic Controls GmbH is far from over.
