Philosophy and vision

Our products give our customers a true competitive advantage.

This is our vision.

Much needs to be done to turn it into reality. Mediocre, half-hearted solutions don’t interest us. We watch the market carefully to know what is presently the state of the art. And then we try and do it better.
Apart from quality, technical progress is our key companion. Innovation isn’t just an empty word but actually lived reality. As an owner-managed family business, we use long-term strategic planning to ensure the underlying conditions are right.

That’s why we aim for the best in everything we do – whether it’s an intuitive user interface for our systems, the design and realization of one-piece-flow systems, or the implementation of Industry 4.0 concepts.

Wenger Automation & Engineering AG has been certified to ISO 9001 since 2008.
