Company

We offer an extensive range of components for wiper and washer technology from our own production. With our proprietary Wald Antriebe products, we are able to provide our customers with state-of-the-art materials and innovative technologies.

For industrial customers, we offer a portfolio of DC motors, stepper motors, and linear actuators.

Our customers include almost all major railway companies in Europe and Asia, as well as medium-sized manufacturers of buses, trucks, construction vehicles, cabins, and agricultural vehicles, and industrial companies from a wide range of sectors. Many of our products not only comply with automotive industry certifications (E1), but also with the latest European fire safety regulations for rail transport (EN 45 545), the EMC directive for rail vehicles (DIN EN 50121-3-2), and common military standards (DEF STAN 59, MIL STD 461, MIL STD 1275).

We are the official distributor for Valeo, one of the world’s leading suppliers to the automotive industry, and represent the SWF brand. We are also a distributor and solution provider for Nidec, the world’s largest manufacturer of electric motors.

From customer-specific solution development to in-house prototype construction and series production at our premises or at one of our suppliers’ plants, we offer our customers a perfect service from task definition to continuous “just-in-time” series delivery.
