NEWS
News from VKE
What’s happening at VKE and with our systems — the latest first.
PartnershipSeptember 2026
VKE is a FANUC Robot Partner
On 17 September 2026, at the AMB trade fair in Stuttgart, FANUC Deutschland certified VKE as a Robot Partner — Authorised System Integrator. FANUC awards the status to integrators with demonstrated project experience on its systems. For our customers, that is an endorsement which does not come from us but from the manufacturer — along with a direct line to FANUC’s engineering, from system design through to support in ongoing operation.
Our thanks go to FANUC Deutschland for the trust placed in us. We take it as an obligation — to build systems that deliver in series production exactly what the requirements specification promised.
Handelsblatt profiles VKE and TRIQBRIQ under the title “Operation Optimismus” (“Operation Optimism”) — two companies backing manufacturing in Germany right now.
Everyone should go the extra mile again from time to time, to keep Germany as an industrial location competitive and fit for the future.
Our strength is vertical integration — we do everything ourselves. From the initial inquiry to the system running in production at the customer’s site.
It starts with listening: we go through the inquiry together with the customer, analyse the workpiece and process, and turn that into a concrete, workable quotation. Once the order is placed, everything comes together under one roof — mechanical design, electrical design and software development, our own control cabinet manufacturing and our own CNC machining.
This depth makes us fast and independent. Where others wait on external manufacturers and their capacity, we respond ourselves — to schedule pressure, to changes, to market shifts. Every system is built up, commissioned and tested in-house at VKE: mechanically, electrically and in software. The customer accepts their system with us in advance, before we install it on site and support it through to final acceptance.
Our mission: everything from a single source — for your economic advantage.
Flexible enough to respond to every customer requirement and build exactly the solution that fits the workpiece — and pays off.
