CONNECTION.
More than 80 years of expertise in fluid technology and our love for detail is what makes the difference.
We’re the number 1 for a wide range of applications. We satisfy the highest standards for our
customers from the fields of stationary and mobile hydraulics, providing them with connection systems
and components of the highest quality. Our products set the standard in the industry. That‘s how we
create a long-term successful relationship to our customers and partners.
Distinctive right from the start
Our roots go back to the 1930s. In 1931, our founder and namesake Hermann Voss began
manufacturing domestic plumbing fittings from brass. In 1953, Hermann Voss introduced a new
product range: the young company began to specialize in the production of tube couplings for
machine and airplane construction. The company’s structure changed in 1999. The business
areas of Fluid and Automotive became individual companies, as the markets were very distinct
from one another. From the 1950s right up to the present day, we have been making a significant
contribution to shaping the development of fluid technology. We have also continuously further
developed quality standards in terms of efficiency and leak proofing.
VOSS in numbers Firmly connected
Functional reliability and leak tightness have always been the top priorities for VOSS Fluid. We give
our full dedication to each and every one of our products – from the cutting ring through to the
non-return valve right up to the flange connection. Alongside a wide range of standardized parts,
pre-assembly devices, ready-to-install hydraulic lines and first-class hose fittings, we also offer our
customers individual, tailor-made solutions. We never compromise on quality: regardless of
whether it’s an order for 1 or 100,000 parts. Instead we guarantee our customers that each
component they buy is a premium-quality product.

Fluid motion
We simply can’t stay still. That’s why we have transformed ourselves from a simple component
manufacturer into a system partner for fluid technology over the years. VOSS products are used in a
wide variety of fields, that is practically everywhere where hydraulics are used. VOSS Fluid provides
all the appropriate hydraulic systems and components to keep diggers, compactors, agricultural
vehicles and conveyors working properly from a single source.

REALIABILITY.
It’s not just our hydraulic connecting components and systems that are of the highest quality. Our
services are first-class as well. VOSS Fluid offers its customers the total package, from project
advice to engineering right up to individual logistics services. Our comprehensive service portfolio
is structured in a targeted manner to discover areas where users can save money and make use
of optimization processes.

Get the best advice
Every project comes with its own challenges. That’s why analysis and consulting are part of our
service. The results that we gather enable us to develop an ideal line arrangement and help us to
select the right products for your vehicles and machines. We always keep an eye on the total cost
of ownership so that we can offer you the most economically viable solution.
Clever C part management
Your requirements are the standard to which we work. If you wish, we can analyze your entire
supply chain to see if it has optimization potential. VOSS Fluid has developed smart logistics
solution to enable us to provide efficient C part management. The advantages: reduced process
and storage costs, lower throughput times and a higher degree of availability.
VOSS coat – the extra layer of quality
Reliable corrosion protection is critically important for the functionality and long life of our compo-
nents. That’s why VOSS coat comes as standard on our products. The high-quality zinc-nickel alloy
is developed and perfected in our own electroplating competence center in Wipperfürth,
it offers the maximum level of process safety for our customers.
Practice makes perfect
Our efficient training scheme means that trained employees can detect any potential for error early
on. To this end, VOSS Fluid carries out regular training sessions and audits in the assembly depart-
ment. In them, the users learn the correct way to install the products, both in theory and in practice.
During the audit, we assess all the relevant processes, materials and tools. Two schemes that have
the same goals: less errors, faster results and lower costs.
Engineering made in Wipperfürth
“Making good things even better“ – this is the motto to which our experienced employees work, ensuring
that nothing is left to chance. Our job is to provide maximum functionality and the highest level of safety.
That’s why we continue to re-test even our most tried-and-tested products. We don’t follow trends –
we’re the ones who set them. One of our strengths is developing individual special products in accordance
with customer specifications. All the individual components used are perfected tuned, to work with one
another and it goes without saying that all of them have the VOSS quality that you’re used to.

THINKING AHEAD.
Questioning existing standards. Not resting on our laurels but looking towards the future. Thinking
about tomorrow’s challenges, today. This is the typical VOSS way of thinking. We take responsibility
both for the protection of the environment and the health and well-being of our staff.
We nurture and support our employees with regular training sessions and a well-founded training
scheme. It goes without saying that we deal with people on a fair basis and on equal footing. We’re
thinking about tomorrow even as early as when our products are in the development stage. That‘s
why we don’t just invest in advanced technology – we also invest in the knowledge of our employees.
This is how we create innovative solutions such as our VOSS coat.

Working sustainably
Sustainability is the core of our being. Respecting nature and protecting it in the best possible way
are company goals to which we assign a high degree of importance. For this reason, we invest
sustainably in resource-saving technologies and then train our employees in them. To do this,
VOSS Fluid doesn’t just remain a stickler to the legal requirements; rather we formulate our own
compliance guidelines with the highest of standards, all based on the philosophy of our founders.
Our employees make the difference.
What is the basis of our success? Our employees of course! We want to achieve more as a team.
That why we place a lot of value on collegiality, loyalty and appreciation. We support our employees
in a targeted manner with training courses or internal workshops and in doing so, offer each of them
job prospects and personal career opportunities.
We pay a lot of attention to the needs of our staff and have an employee-friendly environment
which helps to build solidarity. These are the conditions that we pass on to our management staff
as well. From health-promoting measures to sabbaticals – we are open to any motivating support
of the well-being of our colleagues. It goes without saying that occupational health and safety is a
huge priority for us.
For these and for other reasons, VOSS really is a great place to work. Our colleagues always have
strength and motivation through a healthy work-life balance and we have flexible working time models
which we use to promote this.
Apprenticeships with prospects
Business success depends upon qualified specialist workers. VOSS trains its employees itself; this
integrates them into our company’s culture early on and promotes their talents in the best possible
way. This creates the best opportunities to continue employing students and work students.
We’ve been presented with several awards as an employer and for our apprenticeship – and not
without reason! We are particularly proud of these accomplishments.
