Wired to the World

Compression springs

Wire is everywhere: Wire can be used to fasten things, wire enables communication and it can even help you to obtain something you want if somebody “pulls wires” for you. Wire and tube materials are taken for granted and  are therefore indispensable. Can you imagine how many wire and tube parts are installed in one single car? Not even we have bothered to count them all. But engineers estimate that there are several thousands. Our modern world would be unthinkable without wire and tube.

Wire and tube are our passion.

Forming Innovations since 1893

Dynamic wire bending machine

Technical innovations have determined the rise of WAFIOS ever since the first wire fencing machine was developed. More than 130 years of experience in the wire and tube processing industry have made WAFIOS an internationally renowned name for quality. We are proud of our tradition, and to this day its strongest stabilizer is the innovative corporate culture and the proverbial inventive spirit of our Swabian homeland.

We develop, design, and produce sophisticated machinery for the wire and tube-processing industry and for cold-forging applications. The classic range of products it supplemented by solutions for current topics, like e-mobility, digitization and Industry 4.0.

Innovation and research are a driving factor here. Different subsidy programs, like e.g. for the e-mobility and sustainability sector, help us in the development of trend-setting technologies. Since 2021, we have received the award of the BSFZ seal by the Certification Body for Research Grants (in German: Bescheinigungsstelle für Forschungszulage, BSFZ for short) for Innovation Competence in Research and Development.
