About us

Block 1 Titel: Innovation and progress
Block 1 Inhalt:

VAF is an expanding medium-sized and family-run company consisting of 450 employees. We are acting worldwide as a leading manufacturer and supplier of special machines and facilities for well-known automobile manufacturers and their sub-suppliers.

Our customers appreciate our high-quality products and our ability of meeting deadlines which can be guaranteed due to a highly motivated staff, a strict organization and the willingness to flexibly and promptly fulfill our customers’ requirements.

The above-average vertical range of manufacture reflects the strategic organization of our company and makes up the basis for reaching the ambitious goals regarding quality and delivery time. We are grateful to be part of such a dynamic market because a standstill often also signalizes a regression.

Cooperation is trumps!

People who influence and improve operations play an important role at VAF. It’s our employees who have the ability to convert ideas into technical constructions and therefore have a positive formative influence on the corporate culture of VAF as a family-run company.

Block 2 Inhalt:

Since its foundation in 1983 VAF’s head office has been located in Bopfingen, at the foot of the hill Ipf – directly at the Federal Road B29 which offers a perfect East-West connection from Augsburg to Stuttgart.

You can reach the closest highway access onto the A7 within about 10 minutes driving time. It offers you a perfect North-South connection from Würzburg to Ulm. The quality of life in the former free imperial city offers companies and their employees a perfect surrounding.

Salzgitter - Branch office

Our local branch office in Salzgitter offers a comprehensive service range. Even in this location we are represented by a powerful team of employees in order to make sure that the assembly and the commissioning of our machines is carried out flexibly and on time. From summer 2014 on we will have a new and modern infrastructure, consisting of an area of 800 square meters for assembly works and an open-plan office. This advantage enables VAF to offer you a comprehensive service range. Our professional team provides electrical, mechanical and additional on-site services. That means that we can make sure to flexibly and promptly react on the customers’ requirements and carry out short-term support during a production and commissioning process.

Our skilled employees can offer you professional training courses concerning control technology. These courses correspond to our customers’ individual requirements and take place in our training centre for software/PLC, which has been equipped in a modern way. Moreover, our software department offers additional services like PLC programming, robot programming and image processing, independent of the industrial sector.
