V+S Vogel & Schemmann Maschinen GmbH

What V+S Vogel & Schemmann Maschinen GmbH does

V+S Vogel & Schemmann Maschinen GmbH is a German manufacturer of custom industrial shot blasting and surface treatment machinery, headquartered in Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia. Founded in 1891 as Vogel & Schemmann AG, the company has produced blasting equipment for over 130 years and currently operates as a privately held GmbH owned by SöRo-Beteiligungs-GmbH since 2022. The company employs approximately 12 people and moved to new premises at Rohrstraße 16 in 2023.

The core product portfolio covers three machine families: wheel blasting machines (including tumble belt, hanger-type, roller conveyor, drum, swing chamber, wire and bar, rotary table, and brake disc variants), shot peening machines (BDTA, SPE 2/1, GeSPE Inj, and spring blasting machines), and compressed air blasting machines, including specialized oil and water jacket systems for engine blocks and cylinder heads. Supporting components include blast wheels in 330mm to 670mm diameters, blast media separators, dust collector systems, and programmable robot handling equipment, the latter designed to be compatible with machines from other manufacturers. The company also supplies spare parts, preventive maintenance, repair services, and machine modernization offerings covering energy efficiency, control technology upgrades, and digitization.

V+S generates revenue primarily through direct enterprise sales of custom-engineered hardware, supplemented by recurring spare parts and aftermarket service revenue. The go-to-market model is enterprise field sales with technical sales engineers, supported by a multilingual website, LinkedIn and Facebook profiles, and direct phone, email, and contact form inquiries. Customers are concentrated in automotive (brake discs, engine blocks, cylinder heads, springs), aerospace (precision shot peening of high-value components), and steel processing verticals, with claimed worldwide supply although no specific end-customer logos are publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Goff Corporation: Goff is a US-based manufacturer of airless and air-powered shot blast cleaning equipment for foundry, automotive, and steel customers. Goff's wheel blasting and air blasting machines serve the same use cases as V+S's portfolio.
• Rösler Oberflächentechnik: Rösler is a leading German manufacturer of surface finishing and shot blasting equipment (vibratory finishing, wheel blasting, air blasting) with global operations. Based in Germany, Rösler competes directly with V+S in automotive and steel surface treatment and represents a similarly-engineered mid-size competitor.
• AGTOS Gesellschaft für technische Oberflächenbehandlung mbH: AGTOS is a German manufacturer of shot blasting machines and surface treatment equipment serving automotive, foundry, and steel customers. AGTOS is a direct, similarly-sized German competitor to V+S with overlapping wheel blasting and tumble-belt product lines.
• Pangborn Corporation: Pangborn is a leading global manufacturer of shot blasting and wheel blasting equipment serving automotive, aerospace, and foundry customers. Pangborn was V+S's corporate parent from 2009 to 2015, and the two offer highly overlapping product lines (wheel blasting, air blasting, and shot peening), competing head-to-head for similar OEM customers.
• Krampe Strahltechnik GmbH: Krampe is a German manufacturer of shot blasting systems (wheel blasting, air blasting, container machines) for foundry, automotive, and steel industries. As a domestic German competitor with similar customer focus and bespoke engineering approach, Krampe is highly comparable to V+S.
• DISA (Noric Group): DISA, part of Norican Group, supplies shot blasting and surface treatment equipment to foundries and automotive customers worldwide - V+S itself was once part of DISA Industrieanlagen GmbH. DISA's product range and customer base overlap almost completely with V+S's wheel blasting portfolio.
• Wheelabrator Group (Noric Group): Wheelabrator, part of Norican Group, is one of the largest global suppliers of shot blasting and surface preparation equipment, serving automotive, aerospace, and steel industries. It directly competes with V+S's wheel blasting and shot peening machines, and the Norican portfolio also includes DISA, intensifying competitive overlap.

Regional players

• Sinto (Sinto Surface Treatment): Sinto is a Japanese manufacturer of surface treatment and shot blasting equipment primarily serving Asian automotive and foundry customers. Although geographically concentrated, its product offering (wheel blasting, air blasting) and target verticals are highly comparable to V+S.

Emerging players

• Walther Trowal GmbH & Co. KG: Walther Trowal is a German supplier of surface finishing technology (vibratory finishing, drag finishing, shot blasting). While its primary focus is mass finishing, its German-engineered, automotive/industrial customer base overlaps with V+S and positions it as a partial-overlap competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Noric Group: Noric Group is the parent of Wheelabrator, DISA, and other surface-treatment brands, making it the broadest incumbent in the shot blasting market. It competes with V+S across the entire wheel blasting, air blasting, and shot peening portfolio but at much greater scale and with global service infrastructure.
