Company Profile

The technology company VINCORION is headquartered in Wedel, near Hamburg, Germany. The company’s 800 employees develop and manufacture solutions such as power systems, generators, power electronics, stabilization systems, and lifting systems at three sites in Germany and one in the United States. These are supplied to major systems integrators in the security and defense industries as well as the aerospace and rail industries, and are installed in air defense systems, armored vehicles, aircraft, and other applications.

“We have decades of experience and, in many cases, unique engineering expertise. This is especially true when it comes to the generation, conversion, storage, and management of electricity,” explains Kajetan v. Mentzingen, CEO of VINCORION.

The company’s customers include government agencies, the German Armed Forces, and the defense ministries of numerous NATO and EU countries. But VINCORION also supplies equipment to large producers and platform manufacturers such as RTX. “We are proud that our solutions enable the safe and reliable operation of military and civilian platforms worldwide,” says Kajetan v. Mentzingen. VINCORION also offers services such as maintenance and repair (MRO) or the modernization of existing components and systems.

Vocational training is also one of the company’s key areas of focus. VINCORION currently has almost 50 trainees completing programs to become trained industrial mechanics, electricians for equipment and systems, and industrial management assistants. In addition, the company also offers cooperative education programs. VINCORION is an attractive employer with family-friendly benefits for its employees and is committed to various charitable projects at its sites through donations and sponsorship programs.

VINCORION supplies high-performance equipment to the German Armed Forces as well as to NATO and EU member states. “Low-emission, hybrid technologies are critical to the future viability of our customers in NATO countries, for example,” says Kajetan v. Mentzingen.

That is why  the VINCORION sites are working intensively on sustainability, which ranges from supply chains and low-emission manufacturing techniques to designing efficient and resource-friendly power solutions for civilian and military applications. Solutions that improve the “CO₂ footprint” include hybrid energy systems for air defense systems and field camps. They optimize the energy efficiency of military platforms and thus directly contribute to lower emissions.

As a supplier to the aviation industry, VINCORION also manufactures precision solutions and high-performance heating systems. Its rescue hoists provide life-saving technology for both civilian and military missions. In addition to the hydraulic hoist for the NH90 helicopter, the innovative electrical rescue hoist sets new standards in technological development.
