Pump and machinery manufacturer for the coach industry Vogelsang is celebrating 20 years of trading in the UK. The business was established in the UK in 2003 after several industries, including road transport, showed significant interest in its elastomer-coated rotary lobe pumps, the pump Vogelsang invented in 1970 and is best-known for manufacturing globally.
Since then it has grown to an 18-strong team located across the UK, from Scotland to the South Coast and is headquartered in Crewe, Cheshire. It remains wholly-owned by its parent company, German-based and family-run Vogelsang GmbH, which has a global annual turnover of over €170 million, and was founded in 1929.
Vogelsang provides waste water management systems with its RoadPump and waste water disposal system for coaches.
Managing Director Jonathan Gutteridge said: “We are pleased to have reached this milestone in Vogelsang’s story. When it was founded two decades ago we had a tiny customer-base and were almost unheard of as a pump brand. Now we have a turnover of over £10 million and have developed a reputation for making high quality machinery for the transport sectors.”
The company says it has ambitious plans to grow further in the upcoming years, and is on-track to increase its turnover as it branches out into more industrial sectors with its new pump and machinery designs.
“We are not a company that likes to sit still,” Jonathan added. “We are heavily invested in the industries in which we work and support. Road transport, particularly coach, is a hugely important area for us and we continue to work closely with our customers to ensure our pumps and machines produce the best results possible.”
