VGH History

VGH is an exciting journey that we are taking together with our committed employees and our customers. Every journey begins with the first step.

1993

VGH was initially founded in 1993 as an engineering office in Gevelsberg, Germany.
Together with a very motivated team, founder and namesake Viktoria Garten quickly turned VGH into a recognized and reliable partner for steel producers worldwide.

2006

In 2006, VGH’s European production unit Theramer was founded to enable VGH to continue to focus on the individual requirements of our customers as well as on quality control and just in time delivery.

2016

In 2016, we established our Chinese division VGH Yingkou Refractories Co. Ltd. to produce high quality shaped refractory products for our customers in the ferrous and non ferrous metal industries.

2020

In 2020, a number of projects were launched to take our German production site Theramer to a whole new level.
By digitizing production and warehouse processes and investing in new machinery, we were able to increase production capacities and ensure highly efficient processes on the existing production lines.
Moreover, the construction of an additional and fully automated production line for unshaped refractory products was initiated in order to meet the high demand at an early stage.
