Vosswinkel Steuerungstechnik GmbH

Vosswinkel has been regarded as a true expert for decades – initially as a supplier of control cabinets to the machine tool industry. For more than 35 years, we have been offering our customers complete solutions: from consulting, project planning, and hardware delivery to machine installation, commissioning, and user training. The company has also developed into a system house with state-of-the-art CNC and PC technology. Our headquarters were located in Hagen for a long time. Since the end of 2014, we have been based in a larger company building in Sprockhövel, which was specially designed and built to meet our requirements and is conveniently located between the A1 and A43 motorways.

Vosswinkel Aschersleben GmbH

Since 1991, Vosswinkel in Aschersleben has been designing and building switchgear in a factory building specially tailored to its needs. The design office is directly connected to a modern production facility. We call this: the principle of short distances. Thanks to our close ties to large machine tool manufacturing, we have extensive experience in the field of drive and CNC technology. This benefits our customers in both classic mechanical engineering and special machine construction.

Vosswinkel Steuerungstechnik GmbH

In St. Egidien, we develop sophisticated software system solutions and special CNC applications in close cooperation with our two other locations. Here in the Achat business park, as in Sprockhövel, we have CNC test controllers at our disposal. This is also where our best-equipped test laboratory is located, with various test controllers and machine simulation options.

About us

We are your partner for all tasks relating to control and drive technology, NC programming, planning and electrical design, switch cabinet construction, installation and commissioning of your machines and systems on site, as well as subsequent training of maintenance and operating personnel.
