FAMILY COMPANY, GLOBAL LEADER, SHAPING THE FUTURE VOLLMER

Maximum sharpening for tools in production and service: That's what VOLLMER stands for. Since it was founded in 1909, the company has become a technology leader for state-of-the-art grinding, erosion and machining tools for rotary tools and circular saws in the wood- and metalworking industries and for metal-cutting band saws. The extensive machine range is supplemented by customised service offerings. VOLLMER is a solution provider for global customers – including sharpening services, saw mills, tool manufacturers, and production companies.

For us at VOLLMER, corporate action always represents sustainable action. We are not focused on the short-term maximization of profit, but rather the future of the company and its employees. We acknowledge our responsibility as an active part of society, the region, our town and the entire industry. This is demonstrated in a number of ways: We support, for example, the VOLLMERCup in Biberach, a top-level tournament in the Olympic discipline of shot put.

With long-term commitment to important associations such as the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) and the VDMA (German Engineering Association), VOLLMER makes an impact industry-wide. For instance, we are taking part in the VDW initiative „umati“, which developed a standard for connecting machine tools to IT systems.

Dialogue and interaction across company boundaries are important to us, showing our openness to any interested citizens and groups from the region, who can gain interesting insights during guided tours. Whatever the future brings, one thing is certain: VOLLMER will remain VOLLMER. Founded in 2013, the Sieglinde-Vollmer foundation ensures economic independence for the company today and tomorrow and provides a solid foundation for further development of the VOLLMER Group – within reason.

Shooting matches, traditional costumes and customs: At VOLLMER, we cherish and cultivate the regional traditions and the Upper Swabian mentality: Headstrong, freedom-loving, unwavering. Our roots lie in one of the strongest economic regions of Europe today – herein lies the strength to enable organic, sustainable growth worldwide.

VOLLMER developed a strong international presence early on and expanded into important markets in Europe and overseas. Today, the VOLLMER Group has fifteen subsidiaries, more than 30 representatives and around 800 employees, all managed from the headquarters in Biberach. The award-winning, modern industrial building translates essential elements of company culture into architecture: Clarity, transparency, scope for development, but also concentration and efficiency. This is where international visitors arrive on an almost daily basis. Whether from China, France, England, Russia, the USA or India, they are given advice, trained and greeted with a warm welcome: With their national flag blowing in the breeze in front of the Technology and Training Centre.
