CycloTech has relocated to new premises at the Ludwig Bölkow Campus in Taufkirchen, near Munich, marking a significant step in expanding its presence in Germany. This move positions the company within one of Europe’s foremost hubs for aerospace innovation. The official handover of the keys signifies the launch of operations at the campus, underlining CycloTech’s commitment to shaping the future of flight alongside on-site partners.



Synergy of innovation

The Ludwig Bölkow Campus fosters a unique collaboration between industry, research, education, and entrepreneurship. CycloTech’s decision to establish itself here reflects its belief that groundbreaking technologies arise from the convergence of pioneering spirit and robust infrastructure. By contributing its thrust vectoring technology, CycloTech strengthens the campus’s focus on advancing aviation innovations for industrial application.

Leadership vision

Dr.-Ing. Marcus Bauer, CEO of CycloTech, emphasized the strategic importance of the move:

“Establishing a presence at the Ludwig Bölkow Campus is a clear commitment to an industrial vision based on partnership, excellence, and European technological expertise. We don’t just want to be present here — we want to co-create, accelerate, and prove that radical innovation can emerge at the heart of established structures.”

Thilo Pinar, Managing Director of Ludwig Bölkow Campus GmbH, echoed this sentiment:

“CycloTech represents a new generation of aviation development. The decision to become part of the Ludwig Bölkow Campus confirms our role as a home for industrial trailblazers.”



Strategic expansion and collaboration

The new site will facilitate the expansion of industrial partnerships, further development of CycloRotor technology, and preparations for upcoming product maturity phases. CycloTech’s physical presence on the campus provides direct access to established industry players, enabling joint development projects and laying the groundwork for scaling technological solutions systematically.


Long-term growth strategy

CycloTech’s move to Bavaria aligns with its long-term vision to integrate future-oriented technology into practical applications through collaboration with leading aviation industry players. The combination of deep technological expertise, proximity to industry leaders, and strategic location forms the foundation for the company’s next developmental milestones.
