What Voswinkel does

Voswinkel is a German manufacturer of hydraulic components and assembly-ready piping systems, originally established as an independent company and operating since April 2015 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of STAUFF Group (Walter Stauffenberg GmbH & Co. KG), which is in turn controlled by LUKAD Holding GmbH & Co. KG. The company's core technical focus is on hose fittings (press ferrules and hose nipples), quick couplings (steel and stainless steel socket/plug variants), and bent pipelines (installation-ready pipe assemblies in various shapes, lengths, and materials). These components serve as building blocks within STAUFF's broader hydraulic portfolio of approximately 50,000 standard components across ten product groups.

The business model centers on OEM supply for mobile and stationary machinery and plant engineering, with secondary exposure to industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). Following the April 2015 acquisition by STAUFF Group, distribution transitioned to exclusive handling through STAUFF beginning January 2018, and a coordinated brand transition began in June 2018, with VOSWINKEL products gradually rebranded under the STAUFF product brand. As of the current period, VOSWINKEL continues to operate as part of STAUFF, with its product lines fully integrated into the parent brand and marketed through the STAUFF online shop, direct sales organization, and global network of system and sales partners in all major industrial regions.

The company is privately held, organized as a Kommanditgesellschaft (limited partnership) under German law, domiciled in Werdohl, Germany, with reported headcount of 14 employees. Revenue is not separately disclosed and is reported only in aggregate within STAUFF Group. Customer segments include mobile machinery OEMs (construction, agricultural, material handling equipment requiring hydraulic systems), stationary machinery OEMs (industrial plant engineering), and industrial MRO buyers; no named customer logos or specific revenue concentration is publicly disclosed. The product portfolio has been complemented by digital services including an online CAD database, e-learning courses, and filter calculation tools accessible through the STAUFF digital platform.

Core offering

Voswinkel designs, manufactures and supplies industrial hydraulic components — hose fittings (Schlaucharmaturen), quick couplings (Schnellkupplungen), and pre-fabricated bent pipelines (Gebogene Rohrleitungen) in steel and stainless steel — for OEM and industrial maintenance applications in mobile and stationary machinery. Since April 2015 it has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of STAUFF Group, with products distributed exclusively through the STAUFF network and progressively transitioned to the STAUFF product brand from June 2018 onwards.

Product overview

STAUFF (formerly including Voswinkel since 2015) offers a comprehensive portfolio of approximately 50,000 standard hydraulic components across ten product groups, plus custom and system solutions. The product offering is organized as a unified platform of core components: clamps (STAUFF Schellen), tube fittings (STAUFF Connect), flanges (STAUFF Flansche), bent pipes (STAUFF Gebogene Rohrleitungen), hose fittings (STAUFF Schlaucharmaturen), hoses (STAUFF Schlauch), pre-assembled hose lines (STAUFF Konfektionierte Schlauchleitungen), quick couplings (STAUFF Schnellkupplungen), valves (STAUFF Ventile), test equipment (STAUFF Test), diagnostic technology (STAUFF Diagtronics), filtration (STAUFF Filtration Technology), and hydraulic accessories. These components are designed for original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and industrial maintenance in mobile and stationary machinery. The portfolio is complemented by digital services including an online CAD database (TraceParts), e-learning modules, and filter calculation tools. The former Voswinkel product line (hose fittings and quick couplings) has been fully integrated under the STAUFF brand since June 2018. More than 50,000 components are available from stock through the STAUFF Digital Platform.
