Vogt

What Vogt does

Vogt AG Verbindungstechnik is a Swiss family-owned precision manufacturer of connection technology components, founded in 1962 and headquartered in Lostorf, Switzerland. The company designs and produces cable connectors, solder terminals (SMD, THT, and general-purpose), electrical stampings, rivets, spacers, locking elements, and customized hybrid plastic-metal assemblies, with a catalog of approximately 10,000 stocked articles and an annual production volume of approximately 1 billion individual parts. Manufacturing is concentrated across four Swiss production sites — Werk 1 (headquarters/administration), Werk 2 (tube and wire processing), Werk 3 & Logistics Center (plastic injection moulding), and Werk 4 (stamping in Meinisberg) — supported by in-house capabilities including 3D coordinate metrology (Mitutoyo Strato Apex 9106 with Renishaw SP25M probes), 3D printing for rapid prototyping, mould flow simulation, fully automated 100% inspection, and blister packaging automation.

The business serves industrial and electronics customers across a horizontal segmentation that spans aerospace (Airbus), industrial safety (EAO EMERGENCY STOP components), RF/HF technology (Huber+Suhner), building technology (DOMOTEC), hydraulics, surveying, astronomy (ELT telescope), and professional lighting (Broncolor), among others. Revenue is generated through direct sales from Swiss headquarters, an e-commerce shop, two wholly-owned sales subsidiaries (Vogt France SAS, Vogt Italia Srl), and an international network of exclusive sales representatives and distributors covering approximately 25 European countries plus Australia/New Zealand, India, Israel, and Colombia. Pricing is on a quote/request basis with minimum order values (CHF 50 domestic, €100 Europe and overseas); the company does not publish a public price list. Vogt AG is privately held, has never raised external funding, and operates under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and AEO certifications.
