Gearing is our DNA
Facts and Figures Gearing is our DNA

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.

History

 

1871 Naxos-Union was founded, one of the very first manufacturers of grinding machines. 1911 Diskus Werke is founded, whose face grinding methodology is still an industry standard today. As you can see, the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP has been home to some notable mechanical engineering history as well as engineering ingenuity from the very start

In the 21st century, the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP is still benefiting from the sound experience that exists within the Group, as well as from a new and agile mindset that thinks in terms of solutions, and which combines mechanical engineering know-how with digital processes and product solutions. More than evident: With Mario Preis, the topic of digitization is also firmly anchored strategically on the board of the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP.  Group CEO Rolf Rickmeyer, on the other hand, intends to tailor the offerings of the customer-oriented solution provider also to the new challenges of a changing industry.
