About Wittwer GmbH
Wittwer GmbH is a medium-sized company based in Wendelstein near Nuremberg that has been developing and manufacturing custom enclosure and automation solutions since 1984. Its range of services includes industrial enclosures made of aluminium, plastic, polyester and stainless steel, modular enclosure systems such as the WS-1000, support systems, floor stand solutions, front panels manufactured to customer layouts as well as membrane keypads and touchscreen integration. In addition, the company offers control cabinet construction including wiring and assembly, automation accessories and system accessories. Production starts from a quantity of 1 with no minimum order – from prototype to series. Machining is performed by punching, milling and laser cutting; powder coating is carried out entirely in-house on the company's own system. The modern machine park comprises conventional machining machines and CNC machining centres. Customers come from mechanical and plant engineering, industrial automation, electronics and control technology, the food industry and medical technology. Since 2002, the company has brought manufacturing, warehousing and logistics under one roof at the Wendelstein site and delivers worldwide from Germany.
