Milestones of our success
In the beginning, there was our founder Otto Staudacher’s unconditional passion for technology. After two decades as an extremely successful distributor of technical components, he fulfilled his heart’s desire in 1992: by founding SFS-Fluidsysteme, he developed special pneumatic solutions for the first time. The three-man operation of yesteryear has since developed into an internationally active family business with around 50 employees. Only one thing has remained the same: the passion with which we reliably find special solutions for the problems and needs of our customers.
Otto Staudacher founded SFS-Fluidsysteme as a three-man operation in a rented facility in Zirl-Dirschenbach. His declared goal: to creatively develop and manufacture his own pneumatic control elements and thus serve the needs of customers.
After difficult early years, the company grew steadily from the mid-1990s onwards, and soon the site in Dirschenbach was too small. Otto Staudacher found a suitable plot of land in Polling, where he built the first company building of his own.
He also expanded in terms of sales by founding SFS Germany with two partners in Esslingen.
Once again, production and assembly reached their spatial limits. Otto Staudacher built another factory building and thus tripled the operating space, including additional production machines. One year later, his eldest son Franz strengthened the management team with his know-how.
The global economic crisis of 2008/2009 was felt by SFS with a delay. Through appropriate and forward-looking measures, such as a massive increase in the share of in-house production of CNC parts and acyclical investments, the entire team was retained and SFS was able to emerge strengthened from the crisis.
In 2011, SVS-Automation GmbH was founded at the Polling site, pushing the fast growing product area of "solenoid valves". From this point on, SVS-Automation took over the development as well as the production and distribution of solenoid valves worldwide.
In order to increase the level of awareness and to show the service portfolio to a larger and more international audience, the first appearance as an exhibitor at the Hannover Messe took place in 2015.
In 2016, well over 100 different, customer-specific special solutions were already realized. The areas of application for the valves include automation technology, the food industry, packaging technology and medical technology.
Hansjörg joined SFS in technology and sales in 2016, and his brother Michael followed in the SFS management team in 2019. Together, all three of Otto Staudacher's sons are now continuing to write the history of the family business with around 50 employees.
SVS has developed exceedingly in the past years. In order to show this development to the outside world, the corporate design was completely revised in 2021. SVS is now starting into the future with a new look.
