About VTS
VTS – Verbindungstechnik Steinhilber is a provider specialized in hydraulics and connection technology based in Langenbrettach. The company manufactures hydraulic hoses to customer specification, both in series and as one-off productions, and delivers them as fully assembled lines or as bulk hose by the meter. The product range includes hydraulic hoses from STAUFF, industrial hoses such as mining hoses and food hoses made of NBR and IIR, fittings to DIN EN 2353, adapters in BSP, JIC, SAE, NPT, ORFS and metric standards as well as quick-release couplings in push-on, screw-in and flat-face versions. The offering is complemented by services: installation, replacement and fitting of hydraulic components, testing and maintenance of hose lines according to DGUV Regel 113-020 and BetrSichV as well as on-site consulting by design engineers. A service vehicle enables mobile hose assembly directly at the customer's premises, for example in the event of breakdowns or for prototypes. Customer industries include plant and mechanical engineering, mobile hydraulics, the agricultural industry, the food industry as well as the rail and construction sectors.
