Company history

The TÜFA-TEAM with its dynamic employees has been around since 1991.
Over 29 years of experience, attention to detail, respectful interaction with each other and with our customers are what make us special.

TÜFA-TEAM was one of the first freelance motor vehicle expert offices to enter the market with the main inspection business.

This was no coincidence, because Hans Albert Gelbe, as founding president of KÜS e.V., had his finger on the pulse of the times and the family company’s first vehicle inspection center was thus founded in Niedernhausen.

Further test centers in Wiesbaden, Kriftel, Bad Camberg-Würges, Wetter and Hungen followed.

The 55-strong team of Dr. Marc Trömner and Tatjana Trömner-Gelbe now looks after 150 workshops in the Rhine-Main region.

    Tradition meets modernity

    TÜFA-TEAM and GELBE + KOLLEGEN present their new image

    The ING. office GELBE UND KOLLEGEN and the TÜFA-TEAM invited around 180 guests to a big summer party. The occasion was the presentation of the new logos of the two companies, which have been run as a family business for more than decades.

    There was great encouragement from the guests.

    GELBE UND KOLLEGEN, since 1951 a motor vehicle expert’s office, has been the point of contact not only in the event of an accident, but also for valuations of classic cars or used vehicles in Wiesbaden. In 1991, the subsidiary TÜFA-TEAM was added and today operates six vehicle inspection centers and 150 workshop inspection bases.

    Four years ago, the company was recognized as the most family-friendly company in the Rheingau-Taunus district, and you could feel it.

    Live music, delicious food and a trial show were not just for the older guests. The younger guests also had fun with a great magic show, a trial bike course where they were also allowed to ride and a balloon event.

    Great new logos and a great party made the day a success.
