A global passion for coffee. Made in Germany Anything that is “made in Germany” is seen as good quality throughout the world. At WMF, we have taken this mark of quality to the local level for the commercial coffee machine market: “made in Geislingen”. This represents our manufacturing tradition in partnership with innovative production methods. The forerunner to WMF, the metal goods factory Straub & Schweizer, was founded in Geislingen an der Steige in 1853 with 16 employees. We have been designing and producing coffee machines for the catering business since 1927, exclusively at our Geislingen site. Our reliability is our commitment. Every machine 6 WMF | We love coffee is put into operation by us and thoroughly checked. It only leaves our factory if it is in impeccable condition. We are always working to optimise processes, right from production, so as to continuously drive improvements. The extent of our independence from external suppliers, including our own in-house laser- controlled production of sheet-metal parts, guarantees the utmost in productivity and accuracy of parts. There is an individual behind every machine. Our employees put their good names to each and every working step. Every assembly can be traced precisely to the employee responsible. Innovation is nothing new for us – back in 1927, our first high-volume production of commercial coffee machines was revolutionary for the time. Today too, it is still our aim to create moments of surprise and taste experiences to delight any restaurant owner, café worker or coffee lover, using the latest in machine technology.
