People and a very special corporate philosophy are the driving forces of the long-standing success enjoyed by the Wurth Group. Wurth is a family business that was founded by Adolf Wurth in 1945. Prof. Reinhold Wurth, today’s Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Wurth Group’s Family Trusts, took over the business at the tender age of 19 after his father had passed away and developed it further in to the business that we know and love today. Starting from the early years of the company in post-war Germany, he turned the former two-man business into a dynamic, worldwide operating trading group, generating in excess of EUR 10 billion in the business year of 2014. From its humble beginnings in New Zealand, the name Wurth and its products have fast become the industry leader and the benchmark for competitors to follow.
