About Us

In?novation and Progress From a small carpentry to an engineering company Innovation and progress - these are Vogelsang's guiding principles. After nearly 80 years, we have become an international market leader as an engineering company. In the beginning the company was quite small but the desire and the innovation of a few people made the company grow quickly. It all started as a small and independent sawmill and carpentry Hugo Vogelsang (left side) started the business in 1929 by inventing and manufacturing wooden barrel based products. Some examples of his creativity are a mechanical butter churn and an electric driven washing machine, just two of several of the innovative products. Hu?go's son Helmut Vogelsang studied mechanical engineering and after Hugo's early death, Helmut took over the company in 1960. The first innovation Vogelsang introduced into the agricultural market was made by designing equipment that spread liquid manure and fertilizer over farms and fields. New headquarter: Essen-Sandloh Very soon the business grew beyond all expectations and in 1965 the company moved to Essen/Oldenburg in Germany to accommodate administration, manufacturing and research and development. Milestone: Invention of the elastomeric-coated lobes Beginning in 1970, Vogelsang began designing and manufacturing a series of agricultural, municipal and industrial products that, even today, remain industry leaders. The vacuum technology was a challenge for the company, as it could not be applied to wooden tanks. A pumping system was needed to process viscous media containing fibres and and foreign particles, by suctioning from one side and emptying from the tank trailer on the other side. The solution was the invention of the elastomeric-coated lobes (left side: early rotary lobe pump, patented 1970) was an important step for the future development of Vogel?sang. It was soon determined that this new, self-priming pump was not only suitable for tank-wagons, but perfect for pumping other highly viscous media which conventional centrifugal pumps couldn't process. The pump was made of steel with elastomeric-coated lobes.
