On 1 April 1907, Hermann Sandvoss founded the company VULCAN, Technische Apparate-Baugesellschaft mbH in Düsseldorf. In those days, the company employed 30 people who worked on just 150 square meters (1,600 square feet) producing steam traps and temperature regulators. The idea to use seamless metal tubes as operating elements for temperature regulators was patented in 1909. This invention formed an important basis for the success of SAMSON Technische Apparate-Baugesellschaft mbH, which derived from the VULCAN, Technische Apparatebaugesellschaft mbH in the same year. In 1916, SAMSON moved to Frankfurt. In 1922, it became a stock company. The company continued to develop even through two world wars and times of economic crisis, evolving into a leading instrumentation and controls company which specialized in self-operated regulators installed in steam and heating systems. In 1953, SAMSON introduced the first pneumatic valve positioners on the German market, providing the opening into process automation sector. Nowadays, SAMSON is a leading valve manufacturer active in all areas of process engineering. Thanks to the wide product program ranging from self-operated regulators to smart positioners, SAMSON is fit for the future. |
Hermann Sandvoss (1871 - 1943) founded the company in 1907 and managed it until 1941. |
