The Wurth Group is the life’s work of Professor Dr. h.c. Reinhold Würth and one of the outstanding business success stories in post-war Germany history. Reinhold Würth turned the two-man operation he inherited from his father in 1954 into a global group comprising of 380 companies in 84 countries.

The core business of the Wurth Group is the global sale of fixing and assembly materials through an international network of companies. Our aim is to become the market leader in assembly technology. The core strengths we can offer to our customers are competence, quality and a strong sales force.

On 29. June 1982 the Australian subsidiary was founded under the name Wurth Fasteners Pty. Ltd. First we concentrated on customers in the automotive repair business in Melbourne and Victoria. In 1988 the first sales consultants started to work in Canberra and Sydney. Adelaide and Brisbane followed in 1990, Perth in 1994, Tasmania in 1995 and Darwin in 1997.

Eric Juebner, who had joined the company in May 1988, was appointed Managing Director from 1. January 1991.

On Easter 1993 the company moved to the current premises in Redwood Drive. In October 1993 we changed our name to Wurth Australia Pty. Ltd.

The Metal Division employed its first sales staff in 1997. The division sells to steel and metal fabricators, machine and tool makers, maintenance departments of small and large businesses, forklift repairers, manufacturers as well as any business not directly related to the automotive industry. After ten years in business we have sales consultants in all states and territories of Australia.

2007 we founded the Construction Division in Melbourne. The goal is to sell to tradesmen of the construction industry on building sites. The first results are promising. Soon we will expand to other states of Australia.

Wurth Australia has now a sales force of 350 staff. We service over 40,000 customers in different industries. We offer a product range of around 10,000 lines.

In April 2008 we plan to move into a purpose built warehouse in Perth (Balcatta). From there we will be able to service all customers in Western Australia.

A new warehouse in planned to be constructed in Ipswich (near Brisbane). We hope to service our customers in Queensland and northern New South Wales from 2009 onwards.

We thank our customers, suppliers and business friends for their continued support. We strive to supply top quality products and our staff endeavors to provide the best service.
