About WEBER
WEBER GmbH is an engineering and automation company based in Aschaffenburg, founded in 1979 by Reinhard Weber as a design and engineering office. The portfolio comprises three business divisions: Automation, Engineering and Test Centre. The company develops and designs machinery, systems and fixtures (including special-purpose machinery, steel and sheet-metal constructions, vacuum technology) and builds automated assembly and testing systems including control cabinet construction, PLC and robot programming as well as electronics and software development. In addition, WEBER offers mechanical product development, development services for commercial vehicles, GMP and IT services, as well as assembly, commissioning, maintenance and worldwide plant relocation. In the 1,400 m² test centre in Aschaffenburg, climate testing, vibration and shock testing, corrosion testing and EMC/ESD testing are carried out; the laboratory is flexibly accredited to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. Customers come from the automotive, commercial vehicle, mechanical engineering, medical technology, pharmaceutical and packaging industries, the energy sector and recycling. Around 140 employees are active in 35 sales regions in the DACH region and Europe.
