Integration of VOSS companies Following the takeover of Larga in 2016, VOSS Fluid is integrating the long-established Italian company: VOSS Fluid Larga has been renamed VOSS Fluid Srl. The German manufacturer of tube fittings has also merged its Italian subsidiary with VOSS Fluid Srl at the Osnago site, and invested in additional capacities there. The result is that VOSS has production facilities for hose fittings and ready- to-install hydraulic lines that add to its portfolio. In addition, a common inventory control system has been introduced for the combined site. Voss is using these measures to increasingly standardise its manufacturing processes in Italy and to position itself more strongly as a comprehensive system provider. The merger has created VOSS Fluid’s largest foreign location, with 120 employees. VOSS Fluid Srl produces millions of hose fittings. In addition to the sale of the individual components, ready-to-install hydraulic lines are produced and offered. As well as modern tube connection technology, the company supplies all components for the hose connection of mobile and stationary machines and systems. As a result, users can reduce the number of suppliers and obtain uniform product quality, especially with a view towards leak-proofing and corrosion resistance. The range of hose fittings is suitable for hydraulic hoses with a nominal diameter of 5 to 51mm, and includes connection systems for all common hose types. Through VOSS Fluid Srl, the company is also strengthening its position in the Italian market, which is currently experiencing a boom in the mechanical engineering sector. In 2017, Italy’s manufacturers of machine tools, robots and automation systems recorded double-digit growth rates on average. This was the fourth consecutive year of growth for this specialised Italian industry. The complete VOSS product range covers pre-assembled tube geometries, prefabricated hose lines, tube and flange couplings, hose fittings, and accessories for stationary and mobile hydraulics.
