System engineer, strategy lover, networking machine, communicator and feel-good manager with 10+ years experience in aerospace including cryo fluid control equipment development from scratch to test and qualification.
We are the people
behind the vision
We believe every programme, every mission deserves access to space, through tested and qualified fluidic control components.
The founding team
behind the mission
Before our founders founded deltaVision, they worked on propulsion systems, inside Europe’s biggest programmes.
Engineer, team leader, electronics & software lover, handyman, troubleshooter and logics friend with 10+ years experience in aerospace industry.
Engineer, fluid control expert, valve blackbelt, design and multi-physics genius, with 15+ years experience in aerospace and 10+ in cryo fluid control equipment. The test benches are scared of him (field-proven).
deltaVision timeline
our story
Today,
150
people design and manufacture those components in
4000
m² in Munich.
2022
The company is founded, builds its first test bench and signs its first commercial contract.
2023
The team moves into its Baierbrunner Straße site, a 600 sqm manufacturing hall, and the first three valves (E2a) ship.
2024
The first CNC machine arrives and production reaches full vertical integration. The first solenoid drivers follow, and they fly to space too.
2025
Named ESA Rising Star of 2025, deltaVision is also selected for the ESA Argonaut Program. A first removable cleanroom (24 sqm) goes into service, and the Diana Accelerator selects the company. Its first component reaches space.
2026
The company closes a 10.2 million euro seed round and opens a new cleanroom of 224 sqm, ten times larger than the first. The team reaches 150 employees, and a partnership with Mott Corporation advances spacecraft propulsion flow control systems for the U.S. space industry.

Every propulsion component we ship is a step towards dynamic space operations
Components become subsystems. Subsystems become the infrastructure that makes a permanent human presence in space possible
