Machinefabriek De Valk specialises in the flexible, quick production of mechanical components. For example, prototypes and rush orders (QRM). In addition, De Valk has developed into a specialist which can print and finish complex products in stainless steel, aluminium or titanium (additive manufacturing).
Machinefabriek de Valk, founded by Jan Hagelaars in 1948, specialises in manufacturing mechanical components in all common steels, non-ferrous metals and plastics, as well as complete manufacturing and assembly of modules and machinery. It also has a Cleanroom ISO class 7 facility and a grade 4 Cleaning Line for cleaning and ultra clean packaging of products.
Furthermore, Machinefabriek De Valk is a forerunner in the field of 3D printing (additive manufacturing) and a partner in the K3D-AddFab consortium, based at the Brainport Industries Campus in Eindhoven. Together the partners lease Metalfab, a 3D metal printer that provides series production of high-tech parts and components for aerospace.
VADO investment rationale
Within VADO, a group of high-quality high-tech companies bundle their competencies in the field of mechanical machining under the name Anvil Industries. With the acquisition of De Valk, Anvil Industries has added the specialty of 3D metal printing to its technological competencies. With its activities, De Valk fits perfectly in this group and the companies can further strengthen each other operationally and commercially. With this, Anvil Industries offers a one-stop-shop solution for mechanical machining to OEMs and Tier 1 companies in semiconductors, optical and medical industries, food and various machine builders.

"The affiliation with Anvil and VADO is an important next step for our company: "Thanks to VADO's scale and technology focus, we get solid support for healthy further innovation and growth. I am also happy for our people, because not only are we positioned to develop further as a company, but this step also offers further growth opportunities for our employees. There was a click from the very first moment. And as a family business with Brabant roots, we fit in perfectly with Anvil and VADO. "
