About Eisenwerk Würth

Eisenwerk Würth GmbH in Bad Friedrichshall is a family-owned company that has been manufacturing metallic blasting media since 1912. Company founder Julius Würth was a pioneer in replacing health-hazardous quartz sand with metallic blasting media. Today the company produces high-quality reusable blasting media such as the round cast steel blasting media VERA® and the angular chilled iron blasting media DIAMANT, which are used in wheel blasting and compressed air systems for applications such as paint stripping, deburring and surface finishing. In addition to production, the service portfolio includes consulting and process analysis, blasting trials under real conditions in the company's own technical centre, training, quality assurance and digital process optimisation under the Würth Solutions brand. Since April 1998, the company has belonged to the non-profit Julius Würth Foundation, which secures succession and continuity and is committed to social causes in the region. The company supplies customers worldwide and cooperates with universities and research institutes.
