130 years BWF Group
Tradition. Change. Future.
The year 2026 marks a very special milestone in the BWF Group's history: for 130 years, our name has been synonymous with quality, innovative strength, and reliable partnerships.

What began as a family business with regional roots in 1896 has evolved over five generations into a leading international group of companies. Standing still was never an option. Change, further development, and the courage to break new ground have shaped our history to this day.
130 years of the BWF Group stand for:
- Innovation based on tradition: We have constantly reinvented ourselves and actively shaped technological developments.
- Quality as a standard: Reliability, precision, and high standards have always formed the basis of our actions.
- Partnership on equal terms: Long-term relationships with customers, partners, and employees are a key factor for success.
- A fifth-generation family business: Taking responsibility for people, the environment and the future is firmly anchored in our DNA.
„Over the past 130 years, we have constantly evolved and look forward to continuing on this path together in our anniversary year, 2026."

Regionally Based World Leaders.
Even after 130 years, we remain closely connected to our region. At the same time, the BWF Group operates internationally, providing innovative solutions and strong brands in various business areas. It is this combination of heritage and future orientation that defines us.
Looking ahead
Our anniversary is an opportunity not only to look back with pride, but also to look ahead. We view tomorrow's challenges as an opportunity to build on our strengths further and develop new perspectives together.
130 years of the BWF Group – and we are ready for the future.
