Würth / Profile

Würth in the world markets

Competence, Quality and Closeness to the Customer

The Würth Group is the life's work of Professor Reinhold Würth, and one of the outstanding business success stories in post-war German history. Since 1954, the time of rebuilding after the Second World War, he has been turning the two-man business of his father into a worldwide active group of companies with over 400 companies in 86 countries today.

The core business of the Würth Group is the global trade of fixing and assembly materials. Competence, quality and customer service form the foundation of our philosophy. Würth Germany's range of products for trade and industry now numbers more than 100,000 for the assembly professional. Over five decades Prof. Dr. Reinhold Würth has led the two-man operation, which he took over after the death of his father in 1954, to become among the largest trading companies in Germany. Würth is the right contact for screws, screw accessories, dowels, chemical products, furniture and construction fittings, tools, machines, installation material, automotive hardware as well as storage and retrieval systems.

The requirements of over 3 million customers is always a challenge for Würth employees but having over 30,000 sales representatives worldwide guarantees that we remain close to our customers and can thus provide competent advice and fast delivery. Worldwide more than 65,000 employees strive to deliver solutions to any questions and needs of our customers.
