This year, our sister company Vogelsang + Abe in Hamburg is celebrating its 20th anniversary, while EZN in Maastricht has been part of Vogelsang for 10 years.
In 2004, we founded V+A Anlagenservice together with Jens Abe. Back then, we were still drawing up business plans and discussing ideas at the kitchen table in Jens' house. The foundation stone for the new company was laid with the acquisition of a full service contract for an engine cogeneration plant in Stendal. In the meantime, the company's content has expanded considerably. In addition to combined heat and power plants, V+A offers service for locomotives and emergency diesel generators throughout Germany. Service on ships worldwide rounds off the spectrum. Initially based in Waltershof, we have now been at our new location in Seevetal for over 10 years and employ 10 people there.
In 2014, we had the opportunity to acquire the company EZN in Maastricht from the then owner Mitsubishi. This was a good opportunity for Vogelsang to gain a foothold in the Netherlands and improve our access to the market. At the Maastricht site, we employ 12 people to repair rotating machinery for the manufacturing industry in Limburg and the border region in Belgium. In addition to work in the factory, the site also offers on-site service work.
