Our strategy

The know-how within our group of companies results in a high degree of vertical integration, supplier independence and consistent quality. This means that we are largely independent of external partners in our production chain. This independence not only enables us to produce at particularly low cost, but also to continuously improve internal production and logistics processes.

Within the Group, we offer our customers exactly what they demand: all services from a single source – from materials and product development to production, quality assurance, sales and logistics. At the same time, with locations worldwide, we are geographically close to our customers’ local markets.

Our strategy for expanding the Vorwerk & Sohn Group in the future is based on these goals and principles.
