Gearing – besides ultra-fine surfaces, this is our main area of expertise at the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP. But gearing is also part of our business philosophy: the interlinking of extremely specialized competencies within the Group, of literally centuries of mechanical engineering experience with modern digital processes and product solutions, and above all of human skills and abilities. This is how we create solutions that surpass anything that the sum of the individual trades could conceivably create. And this yields a level of efficiency that makes it possible to tackle the challenges of the future in mechanical engineering quickly, flexibly, and economically.

Founded in 1871, Naxos-Union was one of the world’s first manufacturers of grinding machines. In 1911, the Diskus Werke followed—establishing the "Diskus double-face grinding" technology, which remains an industry standard to this day. With this heritage, the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP carries a significant part of machine tool history—combined with a constant drive for innovation.

In the 21st century, the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP continues to benefit from this deeply rooted expertise—while aligning it with an agile mindset that connects mechanical engineering excellence with digital processes and product solutions. A clear sign of this transformation is the strategic focus on digitalization and customer-driven solutions, which is being advanced under the leadership of CEO Uwe Kling.

As a member of the Executive Board, Rolf Rickmeyer supports the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP’s transformation into a customer-centric solution provider—addressing the evolving challenges of a rapidly changing industry.
