what makes us different

What makes us different

WHAT WE BELIEVE
VALUES FOR LIFE

Every individual is valuable and human dignity is inviolable. These principles form the basis of the ethos in the WÜRZ group of companies. We live by this truth and seek authentic business relations characterised by integrity, reliability and trust.

At WÜRZ, our word is our bond and we are true to our word. We are committed to sound business practices and fair competition. We support any endeavour which seeks to uphold these values and we oppose any attempt to undermine them.

This is the only way to make our business a success – for ourselves and, more importantly, for our customers. These values alone provide fertile ground for good relationships.

EXPLOITING
SYNERGIES
AND ADDING
VALUE

The consistent application and the combination of the technical resources of our three operating segments enable us to offer our customers optimum synergy effects as a one-stop shop for the professional planning and direct execution of highly complex production processes with a high degree of vertical integration. We create genuine added value in this way – with made-to-measure solutions for our customers.

WE INVEST
IN TOMORROW
AND DIDN’T
START YESTERDAY

Always keeping up with with the latest developments is one of the key foundations of our company philosophy. We insist on state-of-the-art machining centres with the latest manufacturing technology, and we consistently invest in modernising and extending our range of machinery and equipment.

Only in this way can we maintain and continue perpetuating the leading-edge
technology which has been our hallmark for decades, and thus offer our customers supreme precision, premium quality and a steady flow of new services.

WE THINK
INTERNATIONALLY
AND MANUFACTURE
LOCALLY

We are committed to Germany as a production location because, in our view, the „Made in Germany“ label is far more than just a seal of quality – it is a calling and a duty. Without the skills and creative minds of our highly qualified, local employees from the region, it would not have been possible to uphold and sustain our high quality standards over decades. That’s why, as a contribution to the future sustainability of our group of companies, we constantly invest in the training and development of our workforce – and of Germany as a manufacturing base.

OUR COMMITMENT
CORPORATE
RESPONSIBILITY

The WÜRZ group of companies takes its responsibility for humanity and the environment very seriously. Our integrated quality and environmental management systems provide us with a fundamental basis and values to abide by which will ensure a high standard of quality, a clean and safe working environment and a careful use of natural resources.

Whether DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 or DIN EN ISO 14001:2015, our certified management systems apply to the wide and diverse scope of our operations and are tailored to the relevant sectors of industry. This is how we guarantee the manufacture of high-quality products and an eco-friendly and sustainable supply of energy.

SUSTAINABLE
PRACTICES
RIGHT FROM
THE START

With regard to alternative energy, WÜRZ seized the initiative long before terms such as climate change and sustainability were coined.

In the mid-1980s, we commissioned the first wind power station and today we generate 2.3 megawatts of wind energy. We also run combined heat and power plants, solar energy plants and a pellet system. With our eco-friendly energy management and carbon-neutral generation of energy from renewable sources and sustainable raw materials, , when it comes to energy supply we are already living today in tomorrow’s world. Day-to-day operations in our companies are shaped by the careful use of resources, environmentally sound practices and the consistent maximisation of potential savings.

WE LOVE
PRECISION
AND ZERO
TOLERANCE

Our passion for precision engineering is what sets us apart. That is why we strive to meet the highest demands and the most exacting specifications at all times – because in our eyes quality is more than just a promise. Quality is the relentless pursuit of perfection in response to the demands of our customers. This is the direction we take, with sophisticated production engineering, with all our technical expertise, with excellently qualitfied employees and with a focus on zero tolerance – when it comes to compromising our targets.
