CWG – sustainably successful development

Precision is vital at CWG - and also a key component of our daily work, along with honesty, predictability and diligence. Values that characterised the 18-year-old Christian Weber when he founded the company in 1910, and he never abandoned them, even when times were tough - with the great recession, two world wars, and the dismantling of the company that followed them.

Slow, sustainable growth has always been a maxim of our company, coupled with the will and ability to constantly improve. Because standstill means regression. We drive progress – to give our customers value added! That's why we always adhere to the very latest norms and technological standards.
