History - Company | VACUUBRAND

Milestones in our history

1961 | The beginnings at BRAND

Vacuum technology as a new business field

VACUUBRAND was founded in the early 1960s as a trademark of the BRAND company in Wertheim. Since then, we have been passionately dedicated to the development of innovative vacuum technology. The focus on chemical process engineering and the development of the first chemically resistant diaphragm pump were groundbreaking for the development of our company.

1985 | VACUUBRAND becomes independent

The foundation of VACUUBRAND GMBH + CO KG

With innovative and high-quality products, the business expands so strongly in the following years that VACUUBRAND GMBH + CO KG is spun off as an independent company on January 1, 1985. This was an important decision, as it allowed us to concentrate even more on developing new products and first-class services for you.

1992 | Move to Alfred-Zippe-Straße

VACUUBRAND gets its own location

The success story continues: in 1992, VACUUBRAND moves into its own buildings in Alfred-Zippe-Straße in Wertheim. These provide sufficient space for product development as well as extensive production and logistics. At the same time, it is the starting signal for the further expansion of the company.

2015 | Transformation to the "VACUUBRAND Lean Factory"

Fit for industry 4.0

In 2015, the ground-breaking ceremony is held for the largest construction measures on our company premises to date. At 2.400 square meters, production is expanded by around a third. An automated small parts warehouse and numerous modernizations in our work processes are also created. In order to exploit the full potential of the new systems, we are introducing SAP S4/HANA as the ERP system in all areas in 2018. With our "VACUUBRAND Lean Factory", we are ideally equipped for the future.
