From a workshop to a third-generation family business
1918
The beginning
1935
The next generation
As early as 1935, his son Walter Helwig joined the company as a co-owner and the driving force behind its further development. Even back then, our guiding principle was: ‘The highest quality in manufacturing is our standard.’ This ethos has defined us for decades.
Successful right up to the present day
Robert Helwig gained international recognition for his products, which were exported all over the world. Today, Mr Klaus Helwig is the third generation to run the company, and has been doing so for over 40 years.
2021
The new location
Until 2020, we manufactured our products exclusively at our long-established site in Berlin, with a team of 18 skilled employees. In January 2021, we opened our new site in Königs Wusterhausen, thereby beginning a new chapter in our history without forgetting our roots.
