Since 1947, WEICON GmbH & Co. KG has been manufacturing special products for industry. The company's product range includes special adhesives and sealants, technical sprays as well as high-performance assembly pastes and greases for all areas of industry – from production, repair and maintenance to servicing. Another field of activity of WEICON is the development and distribution of stripping tools.
The 3rd and 4th generation family-run company with more than 300 employees has its headquarters in Münster and operates nine international branches – since 2013 also in Muizenberg, South Africa.
President Ralph Weidling gave his guests from South Africa a virtual tour of his company and was supported by sales director international, Vitali Walter and branch manager from South Africa, Peter Leibbrandt.
"One of our most important tasks is to continuously develop and improve. We offer our customers more services than any other provider on the market. Only as a well-coordinated and harmonious team can we ensure that our customers are satisfied and want to work with us in the long term," says Vitali Walter, who is responsible for international sales at WEICON.
25 sales managers, who speak 20 different languages, take care of the needs of international customers.
In Germany, WEICON's e-commerce division got off to a very successful start two years ago. The development is going so well that 20 additional employees have already been hired this year in order to grow internationally in e-business and to be represented on many sales platforms.
The good teamwork and excellent corporate culture at WEICON are impressively demonstrated by numerous awards, such as being named a Top Medium-Sized Employer three times in a row from 2019 to 2021.
The South African managers were very impressed by WEICON. The family structure and friendly interaction with each other and the very modern orientation of the company do not contradict each other, but rather complement each other very well.
The guests were also impressed by the fact that a medium-sized company like WEICON is very successful in selling more than 400 products in 120 countries worldwide and is still on a continuous growth course.
