VOSS Fluid Acquires Larga
They expand their services for matched hydraulic components and increase manufacturing capacity for the global market.
Posted: March 8, 2016
VOSS Fluid Gmbh (Wipperfürth, Germany) has made a strategic acquisition and purchased all shares of the Italian market competitor Larga srl (Via Stoppani, Italy). The German manufacturer of quality tube connections is taking this step to supplement its product range with additional hydraulic components. At the same time the company is also increasing its manufacturing capacities for the global market.
The elements that link the two companies are decades of experience in hydraulic connection technology and a similar customer-focused corporate philosophy. The Italian, family-managed Larga has production plants about 30 km north of Milan and has been active on the market since 1954. Along with tube connections, the manufacturer has specialized in hose fittings that cover all conventional hydraulic applications, with one special highlight in the assortment being hose fittings with tear-off protection.
With the integration of these two companies, a product portfolio is developed that specifically expands the range of services for matched hydraulic components. Against this background of hose fittings are a sensible supplement to the components already available in the hydraulic circuit. With their special customer orientation, both companies guarantee long-term use of their components through a high degree of zinc-nickel corrosion protection. The VOSS coat finish protection has set a standard in this sector and now, with Larga, it can fall back on comparable expertise to secure a general quality standard throughout the entire product line.
VOSS Fluid is an internationally leading provider of hydraulic coupling technology. The company is based in Wipperfürth, has around 400 employees, and is part of VOSS Holding. Their product range includes tube couplings for stationary and mobile hydraulics, including cutting ring couplings, tube forming systems, and flange couplings. As a development and system partner in international mechanical engineering, their focus is on application-specific system solutions.
They offer customers everything from one single source: from project planning and engineering to production, assembly, and cost-effective logistics services. With four of its own sales companies in Europe and Asia, as well as further representatives of the group and a global network of traders, the company can guarantee the reliable distribution of its system solutions at all times.
