About WEETECH
Since 1973, WEETECH GmbH has developed and manufactured test and inspection systems for cables, cable harnesses, circuit boards (backplanes), electronic components and assemblies. The portfolio includes low-voltage cable testers (WK 260 series), high-voltage and functional testers up to 5,100 Vdc (W 434, W 434 PRO, W 444, W 454, W 484), an Ethernet cable tester (W 850 HF), and complete solutions with test table, adaptation and test device from a single source. The systems are based on a modular architecture that can be configured for the respective test task and complemented by software (CEETIS, IVISion Studio), including automatic test program generation and ERP integration. Customers come from the automotive industry, aerospace, the rail industry, manufacturing, telecommunications and medical technology, including Boeing and Airbus. The company headquarters with development, production and sales is located in Wertheim am Main; through subsidiaries in Singapore, China, the USA, Italy and the Netherlands as well as 16 sales partners, the company is represented worldwide. Since 2022, the GmbH has been 100% owned by the British Halma plc.
