Waskönig+Walter Kabel-Werk GmbH u. Co. KG

Competence.

Every company is only as good as its people. We've been relying on skilled professionals and highly trained talented people for more than a hundred years, to make sure you get sound solutions.

In cooperation with regional universities, vocational colleges and schools, we hold regular training courses to strengthen our workers' expertise and prepare them for the complex demands of real-life practice.

The results are shown not only by the quality certification, which we were the first cable manufacturer in Germany to receive, in 1989, but in every last one of our products.



After today comes tomorrow.
We know this since yesterday.

A medium-sized company can take many roads to success. A business-is-business approach can be number one – or we can treat people and the environment responsibly, as a factor in long-term success.

At Waskönig+Walter, doing the one doesn't exclude the other. Since our founding in 1873 we've recognised the importance of values, responsibility and sustainability. We consider honesty, fairness and close relationships with our staff as the foundation of our business. For only when people identify with the goals and values of a company excellent quality can be achieved over the long run.

We also stress high standards for the environment in our everyday work:

Through our own recycling plant and sophisticated environmental management, we are contributing to environmental sustainability. And lastly, as the largest employer in the region, we are firmly rooted in Northern Germany.



Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into our business model. Our CSR policy functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby our business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and international norms. CSR is a process embracing responsibility for our company's actions and encouraging a positive impact through its activities on the environment, customers, employees, communities and all other members of the public sphere who may also be considered as stakeholders.

Service, quality and innovation run in the family.

When Johann Peter Waskönig founded his company for the production of hat wire in 1873, he had no idea that one day it would be one of the most successful producers of quality cables for professional use in Germany .

What he did know even then, though, was the importance of quality, service and innovation to the success of a business. As a logical step, in 1920 Waskönig+Walter began to manufacture wires for dynamos – and so laid down another stepping stone on the road to the success that has carried on until today.

Now in its fifth generation, Waskönig+Walter still remains under family ownership.
As the great-great-grandsons of the founder, Michael and Jörg Waskönig, with Stefan Nestler, still stand – 140 years later – for first-class products and progressive ideas.

And even if the company itself, production methods and the uses for our products have changed over time, one thing has stayed the same: the clear competitive advantage of  service, quality and innovation.



Whatever the future holds:
you'll find it at Waskönig+Walter.

Even if we do have nearly 140 years of tradition behind us, we do everything we can to stay ahead of our time.

Thanks to our new, fully automated high-bay warehouse, we are already well prepared for the demands of tomorrow: with space for 20,000 pallets, driverless transport systems and automated pallet handling — for swifter deliveries and even simpler movement of goods.

To always bring you the benefits of the latest technical capabilities, we keep on top of innovations to stay abreast of quality. That's why we invest in continuous research and development, not just to provide you with first-class products tomorrow, but above all to save you time and money as well.
