What is SAWIKO?
From motorhome accessory specialist to aftermarket expert
The company SAWIKO was founded in 1995 from the practical experience of passionate campers. The aim was to make motorhomes more flexible and allow additional mobility to be carried safely. As early as 1999, the growing company moved to its current site in Neuenkirchen-Vörden. Since 2004, its own production with laser and cutting systems has supported fast, quality-oriented manufacturing.
At the end of 2011, the AL-KO VT Group took over the company. With SAWIKO, the group gained renowned expertise in the European retrofit market. Today, the site combines product development, production, installation and direct customer contact.
Feedback from end customers, trade and vehicle manufacturers flows directly into development and service. Modern manufacturing and testing technology ensures high quality and safety standards. This results in solutions where the product, vehicle interface and professional installation are optimally matched.
