Gerätewerk Matrei – GWM
Since its founding in 1948, our company has developed from a production facility to a leading high-tech center for high-precision metal processing.
Our cooperative structure has enabled us to follow our own path and establish ourselves as a leading manufacturer in the region with state-of-the-art production facilities and highly qualified employees. Our cooperative is built on a democratic culture and a strong sense of solidarity. These values are essential to our success.
From production site to high-tech center
The spirit of optimism and solidarity in the wake of the Second World War prompted a group of 52 people to create jobs for themselves and for the region. They founded a manufacturing cooperative. From 1948, they produced items such as electric kitchen appliances and hot plates. In the decades that followed, GWM developed into a company with state-of-the-art production systems and highly qualified staff. Today, we are a high-tech center and OEM partner for well-known manufacturers of cooking appliances and other innovative products. GWM has become one of the most important manufacturing companies in the region.
Operating around the world
Today, the majority of our products are exported. Our main markets are Europe, Asia, and America.
