We are a family business

Today, over four million customers worldwide place their trust in Würth. Behind the longstanding success of the Würth Group are people and a very special company philosophy. Würth is a family business that was founded in 1945 by Adolf Würth. The current Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Würth Group's Family Trusts, Prof. Dr. h. c. mult. Reinhold Würth, took over and built up the company at the age of 19 after the death of his father Adolf. Starting from the start-up years of the post-war period, he developed what was then a two-man business into a globally active trading group.
