Vogelsang closes fiscal year
Essen (Oldenburg), May 6, 2024 – Vogelsang GmbH & Co. KG (Vogelsang Germany and subsidiaries) breaks the 200 million euro mark and reports annual sales of 202 million euros in 2023. This represents an increase in sales of around 17 % compared to the previous year – driven in particular by the Agricultural Technology, Biogas, Wastewater and Transport Technology business divisions.
"We are delighted to have once again significantly exceeded our sales expectations in 2023 and that we can report such a record year," says Harald Vogelsang, Managing Director of Vogelsang GmbH & Co KG. He also says: "Our broad product portfolio and our international focus make us crisis-proof, even in fast-changing times. Therefore, together with our dedicated employees, we are celebrating our 95th year since the company was founded."
Successful product launches
With new and modified products such as the BlackBird trailing shoe system with a working width of 30 meters and the SwingMax5 Slide trailing shoe system with a working width of 24 meters in the agricultural sector, as well as the new generation of PreMix solid matter feeders in the biogas segment, Vogelsang responded to the market's high demand for innovative and tailor-made solutions. In addition to the biogas sector, the HiCone progressive cavity pump is also used in other branches of industry.
Expansion of the workforce
Last year, the company gained around 120 new employees worldwide – including 25 trainees. Vogelsang is currently training around 75 apprentices and dual students and was awarded the "TOP TRAINING" quality seal by the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 2023. Last year, Detlef Ruhmke and Michael Brinkmann also joined the management team.
Harald Vogelsang: "Supporting our customers with our technology and expertise is what continues to drive us in 2024. And that’s why we are always working on further innovative solutions and engaging with users to further expand our product portfolio in line with demand."
