Building up the Würth Group is the life’s work of Prof. Dr. h. c. mult. Reinhold Würth and it is one of the success stories in German economic history. In 1945, the parent company of the Group, Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG, was founded by Adolf Würth. After the early death of his father in 1954, Reinhold Würth, today’s Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Würth Group's Family Trusts, took over the company. Starting from the early years of the company in postwar Germany, he has turned the former two-man business into a trading group operating worldwide with about 400 companies in 84 countries and approximately 58,000 employees.

The core business of the Würth Group is the global trade in fastening and assembly technology, which is implemented through an international network of Group companies. A range of over 100,000 products for industry and the trades makes us a competent supplier of solutions for every kind of fixing problem. Würth is the right contact for you when you require screws, screw accessories, dowels, chemical products, furniture and construction fittings, tools, machines, installation material, automotive hardware as well as storage and retrieval systems.

Daily contact through our sales network of more than 300 branch offices in Germany and more than 28,000 sales representatives worldwide guarantees that we remain close to our customers and can thus provide competent advice and fast delivery. In order to be the right contact for our various customers, our sales force is organized in different divisions to suit the demands of the automotive, wood- and metal-working trades as well as construction and industry.

All over the world, about three million customers trust in the products and service of Würth. Competence, quality and closeness to the customer build the foundation of our activities. Würth stands for good, solid and lasting product quality. The Federal Association for Logistics honored the Würth Group for its modular system logistics that can be tailored to the individual needs of the customer by presenting the German Logistics Award 2009 to the company. In short, there is no longer one Würth for all customers, but every customer has their own Würth.

Our Allied Companies, which belong to the Würth Group in terms of capital, but trade under other names, are active in business fields related to those of the Würth Line in terms of their products and markets.
