After periods under Austrian Industries, VA Technologie and TRASYS, the Voith Group took a 70% stake in 2020 and acquired the company entirely on December 14, 2021. The logo now carries the line A Voith Company. Subsidiaries named on the site are ELIN Motoren Bosnia d.o.o. in Živinice (founded 2015) and ELIN Metal Kft. in Bátonyterenye, Hungary (acquired 2017).
