News from the Holding

The long-standing and successful Top Fuel Dragster pilot Christian Jäger has been building up his own team since 2016 under the name “NitroHunter”. For the new development of his over 1000 hp (horsepower) strong dragster, he needed a device for a precise detection of the flow rate and the consumption of nitromethane. VSE provides the appropriate measurement technology.

After the affiliated companies DST Dauermagnet-SystemTechnik GmbH and VSE Volumentechnik GmbH already received the new standard, the manufacturer of hydraulic components has been certified according to the new guidelines. The TÜV Nord therefore attests that HBE fulfills the new standards for manufacturing and sales of hydraulic oil tanks, bell housings, damping elements, heat exchangers, tank heaters, drive couplings and hydraulic components.

As one of the first companies, DST and VSE successfully passed the audit for the new quality management system DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. TÜV Nord confirms that the development, production and distribution of permanent magnetic couplings (DST) as well as flow meters and corresponding evaluation electronics (VSE) meet the new guidelines.

With beginning of the new year, DST Dauermagnet-SystemTechnik GmbH has taken over the business operations of the neighbouring supplier Weinert GmbH since Rolf Weinert, formerly Managing Director and owner, has taken his well-deserved retirement.
