We are celebrating 100 years
For 100 years, we have been moving what moves you. No hurdle is too high and no burden too heavy for us. Together with our customers and partners, we are constantly finding new ways to drive technological progress – with innovative solutions and world-class engineering. We see ourselves as the accelerator of your success: actively shaping the future and making tomorrow better – that is our understanding of Empowering tomorrow.


Empowering Tomorrow
Actively shaping the future and making tomorrow better – with Empowering tomorrow, we combine what drives us every day. As early as the 1920s, Hermann Vollert's pioneering spirit set real technological standards to facilitate work in the vineyard or in the mining of sand and gravel.
Over the last 10 decades, we have repeatedly set the pace worldwide with patented solutions, acting as a pacemaker and pioneer in numerous industrial sectors. Our family business has grown steadily and has developed from a small metalworking shop into a global player and world market leader.
Making tomorrow better
The drive for ever new, even more efficient solutions continues to inspire our engineers today in a volatile world with immense challenges. We are working on making material flows more efficient with new intralogistics concepts, creating affordable living space for millions of people with sustainable construction systems, and significantly improving the CO2 footprint with battery-powered, emission-free shunting technology.
Building systems 2.0 h2>
Sustainability and climate neutrality are among the most pressing challenges of our time. Both politics and the construction industry have a responsibility to develop innovative approaches, because the construction industry is responsible for 38% of CO2 emissions worldwide.
Climate-friendly building systems and social housing concepts are in demand
Today's urban architecture has to meet numerous requirements in this context. Specifically, it is essential to use limited raw materials efficiently and to provide modern living space in line with the latest energy guidelines and building standards under cost and time pressure. New material-optimized construction concepts are in demand. One trend is resource-saving timber hybrid construction. The wood-concrete composite floor also creates high-quality architecture in both residential and commercial and industrial construction. The MOTUS building system from Vollert also focuses on reducing CO2 emissions. For the first time, it also makes it possible to construct 16+ residential buildings with prestressed concrete hollow core slabs in seismically active regions. Since 2019, a wide range of construction projects have been built with interesting architectural highlights such as floating balconies.
Another hotly debated topic is social housing, i.e. the creation of affordable living space. The modular construction solution from the French construction company Muance offers a new solution here. Previous room modules are usually heavy, non-reusable, and generally have a very high CO2 footprint. Muance has developed its building system in cooperation with Vollert under a completely new focus.


Intralogistics for tomorrow h2>
Intralogistics processes are on the verge of a fundamental change. Innovative, fully automated technology solutions are in demand, such as modular storage and transport systems that can be quickly adapted to changing market conditions and increasing order volumes. Intelligent software solutions for real-time monitoring and analysis of goods flows are essential here.
Batteries, containers, trucks – tons of patented
Sustainable trends are creating completely new industrial applications. Vollert is constantly coming up with innovative solutions. For example, Vollert's container logistics concept ensures economical goods handling in the smallest of spaces. The logistics areas are reduced by up to 70% and unproductive relocation processes are avoided. Electromobility is another topic of the future. In tomorrow's automobile production, as well as in new manufacturing methods for new, even more powerful lithium-ion batteries, new intralogistics concepts will be in demand, for which we at Vollert already offer solutions today. Vollert's TruckTower concept is also revolutionary. Up to 20 trucks can be stacked in an area the size of five diagonal parking spaces. This allows three to five times the number of trucks to be accommodated in the same floor space.

Climate-friendly shunting h2>
In a world increasingly affected by the impacts of climate change, sustainable solutions in the economy and in mobility are gaining in importance. Shunting operations in train stations, freight terminals and logistics centers are no exception. Here, too, the switch to climate-friendly and emission-free alternatives is becoming mandatory – from both an ecological and an economic point of view.
Demand for emission-neutral shunting solutions
Vollert delivered the first battery-powered shunting robot to Holderbank Zement in Switzerland as early as 1974. Today, the company offers a versatile shunting portfolio for a wide range of applications. The 2-way vehicle VLEX from Vollert offers several advantages in addition to the clean electric drive. These include technical features such as the oscillating swing axle for increased derailment safety. In just a few seconds, you can safely switch from rail to road. EMW Stahl Service in Siegen saves up to 18,000 truck transports per year with a new fully electric BR170 shunting robot. The new shunting technology is powered by 100% green electricity and has an impressive operating time of up to 16 hours.


Digital Services h2>
Service management is essential today to ensure that machines and systems deliver top performance for decades. We always consider the entire life cycle, from maintenance to retrofitting.
New digital service tools
Digital service tools from Vollert offer new options here. Web-based dashboards for permanent plant monitoring, for example, provide information about the technical condition of the plants and the current maintenance situation at all times. Predictive maintenance works with real process and machine data and uses AI tools to accurately predict maintenance intervals. This also includes forecasting the life expectancy of components.
Digital spare parts catalogs are another important component. Finding instead of searching – to quickly identify the required spare part, information is provided interactively, including technical specifications, images and documentation.


We are the Vollert
At Vollert, family and company are closely intertwined. Not only is the third generation of the family now shaping the successful development of the company, but for many employees, the traditional company has also become a family. Vollert has grown continuously over the past decades, from a metalworking shop to a global player and world market leader. Each period brought its challenges, which were successfully met with team spirit, prudence and courage.
In the near future, some of the more than 300 employees currently working here will report on what Vollert means to them and what makes working at Vollert and with customers so unique.
