Vollert relaunches as Vollert Heavy Duty Solutions
Following the conclusion of the investor process as part of the insolvency proceedings, Vollert is making a clear new start. Under the name Vollert Heavy Duty Solutions and with a sharpened focus on heavy-duty intralogistics solutions, the plant and machinery manufacturer is positioning itself for the future.
Vollert, the long-established plant and machinery manufacturer from Weinsberg, is repositioning itself in the intralogistics and shunting systems divisions with a clear strategy for the future. The entry of the investor PKD, which is managed by the Czech family holding company JLF Group, will give these business units additional stability and expanded expertise as part of an asset deal and will launch them into a new future outside the insolvency proceedings. At the same time, the previous owner and managing director Hans-Jörg Vollert will continue to run the company as managing partner in family hands, thus maintaining continuity and values.
Vollert uses insolvency proceedings for restructuring
"We can look back on a unique 100-year company history - and look forward at the same time," says Hans-Jörg Vollert. "We have used the insolvency proceedings to restructure and strengthen our company and to focus on what we have stood for in the market for decades: the highest level of expertise in heavy-duty intralogistics and shunting systems. We are looking forward to the new start in these product areas outside of the insolvency proceedings." As part of the restructuring, the precast concrete plants division was deliberately carved out and sold to the Finnish company Elematic Oyj. With the transfer of business from Vollert Anlagenbau GmbH to Vollert Heavy Duty Solutions GmbH on January 1, 2026, the restart is an important step towards offering customers and partners even more stability, transparency and efficiency in the future. The new investor also emphasizes the basis of the partnership: "We have known Vollert as a reliable and innovative partner for many years. As one of the main suppliers, we have built up a trusting and technically sophisticated cooperation over a long period of time. We are convinced of the company's strength and see great potential for the coming years," explains Ir. Jan Falbr, Managing Director of PKD Holding.
