In defense technology, it is crucial to rely on partners with experience and whose products and services have been proven over many years in NATO programs and national procurement projects. Our focus is on providing standard-compliant hose assemblies, transport and testing systems, as well as tool and assembly kits specifically developed and approved for military applications. Many of our products have NATO stock numbers (NSN) and are used in close coordination with procurement agencies such as the Federal Office for the Interior and Security of the Bw (BAAINBw).
We manufacture special tools for you, carry out mechanical repairs of Bw equipment, label and mark materials, carry out AIT markings for the Bundeswehr, and provide on-site consulting for public clients. We have a stock of hazardous material. Our contractual partners include the NSPA, the Federal Office for the Interior and Security of the Bw (BAAINBw), and other Bundeswehr agencies. Through our cooperation with Parker Hannifin, we significantly strengthen this portfolio.
Your partner for defense technologies in EMEA
As a partner of Parker Hannifin, we also offer access to one of the world's leading providers of motion and control technologies with a broad range of solutions for hydraulics, pneumatics, filtration, corrosion protection, electrification, and condition monitoring. With production and development sites worldwide and a long history of supplying the defense industry, Parker offers technologies that are now in use in virtually all NATO countries.
Defense technology places unique demands on systems, components, and partner companies. Military vehicles, ships, and facilities must operate under conditions that far exceed those encountered in civilian applications. These include extreme temperature fluctuations, continuous vibration, humidity, salt water exposure, and operation in dust and dirt. At the same time, the highest standards of reliability, safety, compliance with standards, and service life are also required. Defects or failures of individual components can not only jeopardize the operational value of a vehicle or system but also have a direct impact on the safety of personnel and the mission.
The combination of the Vogel Group's local expertise and Parker's global system diversity makes us a partner capable of supplying both individual components for specific projects and complete system solutions. This enables us to modernize existing platforms, support new projects, and ensure long-term supply security.
Delivering products is only one part of the value proposition. In defense technology, support throughout the entire lifecycle is crucial. Therefore, the Vogel Group offers not only components and systems, but also comprehensive service and support.
We advise OEMs, procurement managers, and maintenance providers on the selection of suitable components and systems right from the concept phase. We support integration into existing platforms and develop customized solutions upon request.
In close coordination with Parker, we can provide prototypes for new projects, support test cycles, and incorporate feedback from the testing phases into series production.
We specialize in supplying approved components, including hose assemblies, transport devices, and measuring instruments, manufactured and tested according to international standards.
We ensure the long-term supply of spare parts through warehousing, rapid procurement and logistical support.
With Parker as our partner, we can modernize existing systems – for example, by retrofitting predictive maintenance solutions, integrating electric auxiliary drives, or replacing traditional components with corrosion-protected versions.
Quality Assurance According to Defense Technology Standards
For defense projects, the Vogel Group relies on a quality management system based on ISO 9001, extended to include the requirements of AQAP relevant to military applications. This ensures that development, manufacturing, and documentation meet the expectations of clients and authorities.
A key component is the complete traceability of all components and configuration versions. Test and acceptance documentation is maintained transparently, changes are documented in a controlled manner, and approvals are granted only for fully compliant products. For new projects, we analyze the respective contractual and regulatory requirements and adjust our quality planning accordingly. Structured risk management accompanies every phase of implementation and is continuously updated in response to changes.
Our supply chain is also integrated into these processes: requirements are passed on to relevant partners, suppliers are evaluated and monitored, and measures to protect against counterfeit materials are in place. Access rights for government quality assurance agencies are contractually secured as needed. Regular internal audits and management reviews ensure that processes remain stable and are continuously improved. This ensures reliable, documented and contractually compliant quality for demanding applications in the defense environment – supported by the clear specifications of the AQAP guidelines.
