About WIROP EUROPE
WIROP EUROPE GmbH was founded in 2016 as a subsidiary of Wirop Industrial Co., Ltd. (Taiwan), established in 1979. Since moving into its newly built own headquarters with a large warehouse in 2018, the company has manufactured swage terminals in Germany — as standard products and to customer specifications. The warehouse stocks all common swage terminals, including Flemish eyes up to 5 inches, aluminium swage terminals per EN 13411-3, C-form swage terminals as well as copper and stainless steel versions. The product range also includes hydraulic presses from bench-top presses starting at 40 t up to a two-column press with 6,000 t of pressing force, test benches modified to customer requirements, and spooling machines. The offering is complemented by training, customer service and repairs, calibration, as well as design and engineering of test benches. The WIROP Group supplies more than a thousand customers in over 80 countries, with a focus on the wire rope industry, cableways and lifting gear/crane construction.
