History

Gummi-Welz GmbH & Co. KG (GWU) was founded by Hans Welz in 1945 and was led by his daughter and son-in-law as a family-owned company until mid-2006. In June 2006, GWU was taken over by Equimax AG in the course of a corporate succession. Following that, GWU grew step by step into a modern, efficiently operating supplier company with an international customer base. In January 2008, the company moved from its Magirusstraße location in Ulm to a new production and administration facility in the industrial park Schwaighofen in Neu-Ulm that is perfectly equipped for a wide range of sophisticated manufacturing processes. At the same time, the Polish company Polytex was acquired as a Polish subsidiary now run under the name Gummi-Welz Poland (GWP) (https://www.gummi-welz-polen.com/). Since April 2019, GWU belongs to the HÜBNER Group based in Kassel, Germany. HÜBNER is the global market leader in gangway systems for buses and rail vehicles. Together GWU and HÜBNER are the European market leader for door sealing and safety systems for the public mobility sector.
