Würth professional tools and assembly materials

The Würth Group is a world market leader in its core business, the trade in assembly and fastening material. Founded in 1945 by Adolf Würth in Künzelsau, Germany, the company began as a small wholesale screw business. After the early death of his father, Reinhold Würth took over the company at the age of 19 and transformed it into a global powerhouse in the industrial and automotive trade sectors.

While headquartered in Germany, Würth operates as a truly global entity with manufacturing taking place in multiple countries, including significant production facilities in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Asia. This geographic diversity allows them to maintain a complex supply chain of over 125,000 products ranging from screws and chemical-technical products to safety equipment and heavy-duty machinery.

The brand remains a privately held family business, owned by the Würth Family Trust. This ownership structure has enabled long-term stability and consistent growth, avoiding the pressures of public stock markets. The company is renowned for its direct sales model, employing tens of thousands of sales representatives globally to provide personalized service to professional tradespeople in the automotive, construction, and metalworking industries.
