Have you ever wondered what drives us? That thing that inspires us, makes our eyes shine and motivates us to achieve more and more. We at WEG are driven by energy, technology, challenges, and opportunities.
Therefore, every day we take new steps, open new paths and evolve, addressing the future as a subject of the present. WEG has always kept an eye on the future. Everything started in 1961, in the city of Jaraguá do Sul, when an electrician, an administrator, and a mechanic decided to join experiences to start an enterprise.
Werner, Eggon, and Geraldo founded WEG. Initially producing electric motors, WEG grew year after year, expanded its product line, and turned into a global solution with electrical machines and automation for the industry and power systems. When it comes to energy, WEG is the name that you commonly hear.
In addition to being one of the largest manufacturers of electrical machines in the world, WEG is a synonym for intelligent technology solutions, offering products that consume less energy, produce more, and automate processes. Our electric motors are a good example: developed with constant technological evolution, they deliver high performance and maximum energy efficiency. In the Generation, Transmission and Distribution of electric energy we have the challenge of creating renewable energy sources meeting social, economic, and environmental demands.
We also develop innovative, efficient and safe products to protect electronic equipment and information. In addition, we produce solutions for electrical mobility develop automation technology for enterprises and make liquid and powder coatings and electrical insulating varnishes. Whenever a new energy issue arises, you can bet, we at WEG, are already studying the subject.
Evolution and continuous improvement are in our DNA. We believe that it is always possible to do better. Thinking about technological innovation is a culture that has been present since the foundation.
With an eye on the future, we at WEG work to become more competitive, more connected and efficient, contributing to the sustainable development. Foreseeing trends such as the industry 4. 0, new energy sources and electrical mobility, working to create more efficient industries and cities, being in constant evolution, always seeking new technologies and solutions.
The constant investment in research and the building of a robust team of experts in Brazil and in the world, dedicated to generating ideas, have produced an increasing number of innovations. What the world will see tomorrow, we at WEG are developing today. For many years, we have developed solutions to make efficiency present in the industry in many different ways.
The arrival of the connectivity era has opened up a universe of opportunities to capture and analyze data. With that, a new chapter begins in our history. Through the union of technology, processes, and people, we created WEG Digital Solutions.
A ecosystem that connects and integrates equipment and sensors, capable of collecting and storing the most diverse types of data in the industry. With WEG Digital Solutions, monitoring and analysis of information can be carried out anytime and anywhere, facilitating decision making. It is the concept of industry 4.
0 put into practice, with smart factories that use big data, cloud computing, and internet of things accompanied by a differential: WEG's expertise If there is one thing we like, it is facing challenges. Whether locally or globally, we keep on crossing borders. The internationalization of WEG began in 1968.
In the 90s, this process gained momentum with the opening of offices in strategic countries. The 2000s were decisive for our global presence, with the installation of the first manufacturing plant abroad. This will to expand horizons only grows and motivates the search for increasingly demanding international quality levels.
Today, we have manufacturing plants in 12 countries and a business office structure able to serve the whole world. Every day several opportunities for personal and professional development are created. One of them is the WEG Training Center.
A vocational training school that qualifies the young apprentice to work in technical activities. Founded in 1968, the Center has trained thousands of students, preparing them to be part of the technology and innovation world, and teaching them ethics and integrity concepts. WEG's cycle of opportunities is completed with technical courses and job openings available at the units around the world.
Thus, each employee has a chance to develop, both professionally and personally. We are WEG, driven by energy, technology, challenges and opportunities. A company that will keep every day, taking new steps, opening new paths, evolving and addressing the future as a subject of the present.
WEG. Transforming energy into solutions.
