What AViTEQ Vibration Technology does

AViTEQ Vibrationstechnik GmbH is a privately held German industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1938 (operating as AViTEQ since its separation from the AEG conglomerate), headquartered in Hattersheim, Germany. The company designs, manufactures, and sells drive components and vibration-based systems for bulk material handling, organized around five core technology categories: conveying (hoppers, feeders, tubular conveyors, spiral conveyors, vibrating tables), screening (linear, circular, multi-deck, dewatering, grizzly screens), weighing (loss-in-weight feeders, linear scales, belt weigh feeders), drive technology (magnetic vibrators, unbalance motors, hopper vibrators), and controller technology (phase angle controls and the SFA frequency controller with IO-Link, Ethernet-IP, and Profinet integration). Its equipment is deployed across ten industrial verticals including food and animal feed, steel production, battery production and recycling, glass, plastics, mining, chemicals, construction aggregates, and waste incineration/slag processing, serving enterprise customers such as Zippe Industrieanlagen, Sesotec, Knauf, Hosokawa Alpine, Hamos, Eirich, Zeppelin, and Coppenrath Wiese.

The company's technology differentiation rests on its patented spring break detection in the SFA frequency controller, resonance-frequency operation for energy efficiency, corrosion-protected hygienic designs (e.g., the KF0.9 stainless steel dosing drive with cathodic dip coating and IP65), and an in-house bulk solids laboratory for application-specific testing. AViTEQ operates a sales-led, direct enterprise go-to-market model with approximately 120 employees worldwide, supplemented by wholly-owned subsidiaries in the Netherlands (Almere), France (new offices opened in 2024), and China (Shanghai), plus a D-A-CH distribution network and international distribution partners. Revenue is generated primarily through custom-engineered hardware sales (vibration machines and components), spare parts and accessories with a 24-hour delivery commitment, and recurring professional services including repairs, mobile service, on-call support, and training, with quote-based pricing delivered through an online product configurator and direct sales consultation.
