Stuga enhances global strength following Stürtz acquisition by Voilàp

Stuga Machinery has confirmed an exciting new chapter as its parent company, Stürtz Group, becomes part of Voilàp Group – the Italian-based global leader in automation and digitalisation. The move unites three well-established machinery names – Stuga, Stürtz and Voilàp – and marks a significant step forward for UK fabricators. Customers can expect continuity from Stuga’s trusted UK team, combined with the additional strength, innovation and resources of a strategic global partner. With Voilàp’s backing, our customers can now plan with confidence, knowing that Stuga and Stürtz have a stable, long-term foundation.

For more than 40 years, Stuga has designed and built its own range of sawing and machining centres in the UK, supported by a full in-house engineering, production and aftersales service operation. That specialism has made Stuga a trusted partner to fabricators of all sizes, helping them automate uPVC window and door production with reliable, UK-supported machinery.  Since joining the Stürtz Group in 2022, Stuga customers have benefitted from a wider portfolio of welding and cleaning systems, giving them the ability to scale automation across the factory floor. Now, with Voilàp’s backing, Stuga is able to continue investing in service, innovation and long-term support – combining the stability of a trusted UK brand with Voilàp’s long-term vision, industry knowledge, technology expertise, and financial strength.

For UK fabricators, the message is clear: Stuga continues to operate with the same experienced management, engineering and service team in Great Yarmouth, but now on a stronger foundation thanks to the scale and resources of Voilàp. The respected British brand retains its home-grown expertise while gaining the capabilities of a global industrial group, giving customers access to a wider range of automation solutions. Alongside Stuga’s UK-built machinery, fabricators can benefit from Stürtz’s proven product range and Voilàp’s advanced automation and digital innovation. Existing Stürtz users in the UK can remain confident in the local support they receive, now underpinned by enhanced global resources. Reinforced supply chains, ongoing investment in parts and product development, and a commitment to long-term reliability all add up to greater resilience for the future.

“By bringing Stürtz and Stuga into the Voilàp family, we combine proven machinery and customer focus with our global scale and vision for innovation,” says Valter Caiumi, President & CEO of Voilàp Group. “Together, we can deliver intelligent, connected production systems that make the factory of the future a reality.” 

“Our customers know they can rely on Stuga’s UK team, and that hasn’t changed. They now benefit from the best of three worlds: Stuga’s local expertise, Stürtz’s proven technology, and Voilàp as a strategic partner,” adds Stuga’s Managing Director, Ed Williams. “This means we can invest in more service, innovation, and long-term support – helping our customers feel confident today and secure for the future.”
