This way we can respond flexibly and quickly deliver you a ready-for-connection result from a single source. We’re proud of that!

There is not only enthusiasm for innovation in our 200 employees’ heads, but also comprehensive knowledge from a wide range of technologies. We have continuously transferred the experience gained since the company’s foundation in 1979 into new product and application areas, such as explosion protection. This versatility allows us to supply customers in industry, in the laboratory and in railway technology – worldwide. But no matter where: We are in close contact with every customer. Because the better we fulfil your requirements, the more convincing the results. And that is what matters for us!

The typical Winkler employee is driven by conviction, seeks challenges with high self motivation and wishes to shape changes. The open doors of our offices and a flat hierarchy ensure that communication happens and decisions are made unbureaucratically.

Many of our staff have been employed with us for many years. The mixture of their expertise and input from new colleagues always opens new opportunities for us. Based on our company share diversivication we are independent in our decision-making and therefore offer long-term perspectives.
