LÖHER Becomes Part of the VÖLKEL Family
Since 2025, LÖHER has been part of the VÖLKEL Group. cobit GmbH has acquired the brand, production, and warehouse operations of August LÖHER GmbH—with a clear objective: simplify structures, accelerate processes, and sustainably strengthen delivery capability.
Important: LÖHER will remain an independent premium brand.
Production & Expertise: Proven Strength, Newly Organized
Production is currently being modernized and restructured. In addition to renovation measures at the existing site, part of the manufacturing will be relocated to Morsbachtalstraße. Capacity from cobit and VÖLKEL will also be utilized.
The result:
modern processes, high quality standards, and flexible scalability.
The experienced team remains on board—along with the technical expertise. Karsten Gross continues to be responsible for production and quality management as Head of Production & QM. Continuity and quality are therefore secured.
Markets & Sales: Clearly Structured
The focus is on the DACH region and the EU—with a clear international perspective.
Sales are conducted exclusively through specialist distributors.
Ordering and accounting are handled centrally via cobit GmbH. This ensures clear responsibilities and lean processes.

Positioning: A Perfect Addition to the Portfolio
As a specialist in twist drills, LÖHER strategically closes the gap between screwdriving tools and thread-cutting tools. The brand complements the cobit portfolio in a strategically sensible way—combining expertise and development strength.
Benefits for Distributors & Customers
Since the acquisition, partners have benefited from:
Higher availability through an expanded warehouse assortment
Greater innovative strength through consistent further development
Consolidated know-how and stronger resources
Delivery logistics remain stable—processes are becoming clearer and more efficient.
Special Service: Flexible. Fast. Customized.
LÖHER continues to stand for flexible custom solutions—even in small and medium production runs. Short-notice options include, among others:
Diameter reductions (h8)
Shank and Morse taper reductions
Length shortening
Special point grinds (e.g., form D / E)
Single-flute step drills according to customer specifications
A clear added value for users with special requirements.
Outlook
Further development of the product range is already underway. The first new products—including the L27 and L67 series with 1/4" hex drive—will be presented at Eisenwarenmesse 2026.
LÖHER remains what has defined the brand for decades:
technically precise, practical, and uncompromisingly quality-focused—now backed by the structural strength of the VÖLKEL family.
