Move to Šurany (Slovakia)

2013
In 2013, the location moved to Šurany and into a newer, more attractive factory building that better fulfilled the needs of a modern production company. Thanks to its larger production area, the new location provided space for additional growth and outstanding opportunities for customers to optimise flows of materials according to the principles of streamlined production and logistical proximity.

Founding of the Factory in Nitra (Slovakia)

2004
To be close to our customers producing products in Eastern Europe, Wöhrle founded the Nitra factory in September of 2004. This guaranteed short delivery pathways, low transportation costs, and fast, reliable, just-in-time delivery. 2,500 sqm production space allowed us to produce our full range of products in accordance with the same high quality standards we maintain at our German locations.

Founding of the Factory in Krautheim

1958
Wöhrle founded a branch in Krautheim an der Jagst in April of 1958. Thankful that a large industrial company had moved to the area, bringing with it a large number of jobs for their region, the city of Krautheim provided the land the company needed for its expansion, allowing it to grow continuously and to increase its number of employees and its revenues.

Expansion of the Product Range

1948
In addition to the washers they'd been producing for years, in 1948 Wöhrle began to produce blank processed, mill-finished, and conical pulleys, expanding its stamping, pressing, and drawing operations.
Erweiterung der Produktpalette

Relocation

1934
As orders increased, the company soon needed extra room and moved to Wildberg in the Calw district in the spring of 1934. The machine fleet was expanded, technological equipment improved, and the company's workforce grew to 50.

Inflation and Years of Crisis

Nach dem 1. Weltkrieg
As the only company left standing in southern Germany, after making it through years of crisis and inflation, Karl Wöhrle switched his full production capacity over to producing stamped washers following a request from a leading screw manufacturer.

Founding

1921
Karl Wöhrle laid the cornerstone for the company as it stands today in 1921. He started producing small stamped parts of all kinds with just a few machines and a couple of employees in his own house in Sulgen near Schramberg.
