Development of the company

Since 1872 Vogel & Noot has manufactured tools and jigs for forming sheet-metal and has supplied these tools to a wide range of trades, such as the automobile, household and gardening tools and construction machinery industries.

Because of rapid developments and an excellent know-how potential, we were able massively to increase the production of complex tools for end-use in the automobile sector.

An essential milestone in the development of tool making at Wartberg was when we embarked upon the production and development of heat shield tools. But we should also mention the development and manufacture of tools for complex end-uses, working with high-quality steel and aluminium sheets.

Before long the engineering and production sectors were able to adjust to the high specification demands of 3 D construction, linked up with metal forming simulation technology.

Today the Vogel & Noot Technology Group is one of the highest competence partners for total solutions on the European market.
