5.0 · Google Reviews (5)Our company
VLD Service GmbH is based in Wangen bei Olten, canton of Solothurn, in the Swiss Mittelland: from here, most production sites in German-speaking Switzerland are reachable in under 4 hours.
Our core business is finding faults on automated plants and repairing them on site: controls, drives, sensors, mechanics. We also program controls, wire, assemble and commission, for Swiss food companies and for machinery manufacturers who install here without keeping their own team.
The company has been on the commercial register since 2023. The founder brings over 20 years of installation and service on production plants across Europe; since 2025, more than 60 interventions at 25 production sites in Switzerland are documented.

- PLC programming and migration (Siemens S7, TIA Portal)
- Control panel retrofit and electrical installation
- Mechanical assembly of machines and lines
- TIG welding of stainless steel components
- Commissioning with FAT/SAT
- Modification and relocation of existing plants
Collaboration models
Direct industrial support
We work directly with production plants: fault finding, maintenance, repair, modification. The external technical team, when in-house maintenance is stretched.
Technical support for service companies
We work with other service companies and provide fitters with their own equipment for installations, maintenance and overhauls.
Local partner for machinery manufacturers
As the Swiss base of international manufacturers, we handle installation, commissioning, after-sales and maintenance at their customers, in their name and to their checklists.
Our team
A core team of technicians, each at home in more than one discipline, scaled to the project. The founder and technical director has over 20 years of installing and maintaining industrial plants across Europe behind him.
Operational coverage
VLD Service works mainly in Switzerland and operates across the country. International projects are possible depending on scope: Germany, Austria, Italy and other European countries we know from earlier work.
Reference clients
We name clients only with written consent. The sectors we have been working in since 2025:
Our History
VLD Service GmbH was founded in Switzerland in 2023. The experience behind it is older: before founding the company, Vladislav Ilyushkov spent two decades installing and maintaining food industry plants across Europe, in meat processing, dairies, convenience food and beverages. VLD Service stands on that experience.
The base in Wangen bei Olten is central in German-speaking Switzerland, on the A1 and A2, and allows fast response in every canton. When needed, we also work in Germany, Austria, France and Italy.
What Sets Us Apart
Everything from one team
Most service providers specialise in either mechanics or electrical or automation. With VLD Service, you get everything from one team: mechanical assembly, TIG welding on stainless steel, electrical assembly, PLC programming and commissioning. One point of contact instead of coordinating three different companies.
Manufacturer-independent
We are tied to no machinery manufacturer and work on plants of any brand. Your production probably runs machines from several manufacturers; for us that is the normal case.
Food industry focus
Stainless steel, HACCP compliance, hygienic installation: we know the requirements of the food industry from daily work on these plants, not from reading about them.
Fast and direct
When you call, you reach a technician: no call centre, no ticket system. Short paths, quick decisions.
Our Industries
Our experience spans the entire food industry:
- Meat processing : Conveyor systems, sorting equipment, packaging lines, industrial washers
- Dairy and milk processing : Hygienic piping, TIG stainless steel welding, process installations
- Convenience food and ready meals : High-capacity lines, filling, packaging, cold chains
- Bakery and confectionery : Production lines, oven loading, conveyor systems
- Beverage industry : Filling systems, transport technology, cleaning systems
Added to this are jobs in intralogistics and pharmaceutical production, where the same requirements for stainless steel, cleanability and documentation apply.
