Vauth-Sagel, around the world

Vauth-Sagel,the family-owned and -run company, based in eastern West-phalia, distributes its product innovations in wire, steel, sheet metal, wood and plastic to 55 countries throughout the world and is continually expanding its sales and distribution network. New to our network is a distribution partner in Norway, which will be supplying the local market with quality Made in Germany products from now on. In addition to newly-entering this, for us, nascent market, there have also been some structural changes in New Zealand and in Switzerland. Furthermore, Vauth-Sagel has set up its own site with production facilities and two ware-houses in the US. Internationalisation continues: Vauth-Sagel has restructured its sales and distribution operations in four central, and above all growing, markets, hence laying the path for further growth.
