Venjakob´s History
A modern, long-standing, family-run company
The unwavering effort to develop and manufacture high-quality machinery and system solutions has become a trademark of the Venjakob company over the decades, as demonstrated by numerous patents along the way. This philosophy has made us what we are today: a modern, long-standing, family-run company.
We want to inspire our customers, not just satisfy them, and have been doing so for over three generations. Our passion are complete individual system solutions from A-Z. To this end, we listen carefully to our customers. Over the decades, our team has retained its passion for developing high-performance, sometimes unique solutions. The greatest incentive for our actions is to win the long-term trust of our customers.
Venjakob’s history is shaped by system solutions with the latest technology
Founded as a metal workshop in 1963, Venjakob based in Rheda-Wiedenbrueck is now a global, medium-sized, family-run company in the mechanical engineering industry based near Guetersloh. We manufacture and sell surface treatment and exhaust air purification systems as well as material handling technology both as individual components and in complex systems, developed with the aim of protecting the environment to the highest degree possible. That’s why we value long-term collaboration with regional partners, which includes, for example, the renovation and expansion of our company building.
Always developed individually, our system solutions are a synthesis of our system expertise, ideas, ingenuity, creativity, and collaboration with customers. As a specialist in surface treatment and exhaust air purification systems and material handling, we’re able to provide our customers with the best technologies possible.
We offer our customers services in the areas of maintenance, servicing, modification, and optimization throughout the service life of our machines and systems. Orders and projects are carried out with a focus on the process in question and with defined milestones, guaranteeing years of reliability and continuous quality control for our customers.
Our products are installed and serviced on the basis of expertise and feasible deadlines. For reasons of occupational health and safety, we carefully consider our activities in advance, design them to be safe, and carry them out prudently. With our Venjakob quality, we now represent quality products, employee and customer satisfaction, and a comprehensive range of services.
