VOSS Fluid: 66 years of tube couplings and coupling technology
V
OSS Fluid celebrates 66 years of coupling technology from Wipperfürth. When
the company added the first tube couplings to its product range in 1953, even the greatest optimists couldn’t have anticipated the performance numbers the company would have almost seven decades later: to date, VOSS Fluid has delivered over 2 billion of its high quality coupling solutions. Large investments into research and development plus in-house electroplating have made this Wipperfürth company an innovation driver in fluid technology. VOSS Fluid originated in the 1930s. After starting with the

production of domestic plumbing systems made from brass, in 1953 the company experienced a breakthrough with the production of tube couplings for mechanical and vehicle construction. Production reoriented itself until 1960 and a new customer base was established. The development of many patentable products followed, for instance swivel couplings with improved fluid dynamics, eccentric ring channel and oblique transverse bores.
From tube couplings, tube forming and connection systems Since then, VOSS Fluid coupling systems have stood for functional design, easy assembly, and lasting leak-tightness. To date, VOSS
Fluid has registered the sale of 2 billion couplings. At the same time, the portfolio of coupling solutions continues to become more versatile over the years. Our current popular products include, for instance, the VOSS Form SQR and VOSS Lok 40 tube forming systems. Particularly with the introduction of VOSS Lok 40, VOSS Fluid has transfered its know-how in the field of fluid-related coupling technology to industries that use clamping rings as a standard to create leak-tight connections: incl. the energy sector, the chemical industry, or the automotive industry. One current area of application, which will become even more important in the future, is the use of CNG (compressed natural gas) or hydrogen or fuel cells in alternative
