Our history

It always starts with an idea

In 1970, it was an ingenious product idea that led to the founding of WMV Apparatebau GmbH in Windeck: a tangible centrifuge drum. Alois Müller started the company together with Lothar Weininger and Bernhard Vick. A converted sheep barn was the company's first headquarters. As early as 1971, the company moved on to Windeck-Schladern.

The first oil removal and drying plant was also delivered to Italy from there. WMV and its cleaning and coating technology became a real eye-catcher on the market. The result of plant technologies consistently tailored to customer needs: a steady increase in orders. The company grew, enabling it to move into its new premises in Maueler Feld in Windeck in the summer of 1980.

Our history

Generation next

In 1992, Martin Müller joined the company as the second generation. His passion: strategic orientation toward global markets. Branches in the USA and Asia followed. Today, WMV GmbH is represented worldwide.

Diversification then continued within the company: In 2008, the company Inspad (metal processing) was founded and in 2014, the company mtam Zerspanung was founded and affiliated with the company. Today, both supply WMV as suppliers and work in parallel for their own customers. A smart strategic move that has made WMV what it is today: a true global player, based in Windeck.

Our history

Yesterday, today, tomorrow. And the day after tomorrow.

Today, WMV is a manufacturer of complex cleaning and coating systems whose expertise is in demand worldwide. Whether it's coating systems or the de-oiling, washing, and drying of bulk parts, WMV always comes up with surprising, forward-looking, and innovative technologies that work reliably. Over 100 employees work hand in hand under one roof in development, design, programming, and production.

Good on their own – unbeatable together. We believe in the power of good ideas and the inspiring force of cosmopolitan cooperation. A modern technical center and the B7 campus as a “thinking and development space” represent the WMV spirit. Since November 2019, WMV has been part of the Bergisches RheinLand Innovation Hub. Together with our employees, customers, and suppliers, we look forward to shaping the future – and reporting on it soon.
