Continuous improvement

With the aim of making products that are more efficient for our customers and more sustainable for the environment, Wenco is always working on developing new solutions and innovating on the existing ones.

In the beginning, the mold maintenance and handling shop was responsible for leading this development.

As the company grew, development was shifted to the engineering and design department, which starting in 2001 was strongly expanded and funded.

By 2020, the solutions developed by this department for the Wenco Companies have been granted 189 patents in a dozen countries.
