La producción de desvíos comenzó hace más de cien años
La Butzbacher Weichenbau Gesellschaft está especializada en el diseño y la producción de desvíos y componentes de vía para la Deutsche Bahn desde 1970.
Desde 1920, el Reichsbahn alemán mantuvo un taller para la producción de desvíos en Brandenburgo-Kirchmöser.
En 1976, se inició la producción de desvíos de carril garganta en Gotha.
Tras hacerse con el 65% de las fábricas de desvíos de Brandenburgo y Gotha en 1991, la Butzbacher Weichenbau Gesellschaft adquirió el resto de las acciones de Deutsche Bahn en 1998.
El grupo BWG pasó a formar parte de VAE.
En 2003, junto con VAE, BWG se integró en la división de sistemas ferroviarios de la empresa austriaca voestalpine AG, que cotiza en bolsa.
Desde 2008 esto se refleja en el nombre de la empresa: voestalpine BWG.
Desde 2012, voestalpine BWG forma parte de la recién creada División de Ingeniería del Metal de voestalpine AG.
Desde el 15 de abril de 2020, la empresa tiene un nuevo nombre: voestalpine Turnout Technology Germany GmbH, una empresa filial de voestalpine Railway Systems (antigua VAE), líder mundial en soluciones de sistemas de infraestructura ferroviaria
