    Products and services

    SAWIKO has been a specialist for towbars and carrier systems for 30 years and has been part of the AL-KO Vehicle Technology Group since 2012. The branch in northern Germany is located directly on the A1 in Neuenkirchen-Vörden, near the city of Osnabrück. On site you will receive a full range of workshop and service support as well as professional advice on products from SAWIKO, AL-KO VT and E&P.

    The spacious showroom, covering nearly 500 square metres, offers a relaxing space to wait while your vehicle is in the workshop, plus a coffee bar serving hot and cold drinks. If needed, you can make use of a free courtesy car with a fixed mileage included – there is a per kilometre charge beyond this. The company's own motorhome pitch gives you the comfort of arriving conveniently the day before your appointment and being on site first thing the next morning.
