Experience and determination that turn into accomplishments

Boldness, enthusiasm and commitment are characteristics common to the three men who decided to join experiences in the search for success. Werner Ricardo Voigt, Eggon João da Silva and Geraldo Werninghaus shared a dream that, with a lot of passion and work, has come true.

On September 16th 1961, in the city of Jaraguá do Sul (State of Santa Catarina), an electrician, an administrator and a mechanic combined their knowledge and skills and founded Eletromotores Jaraguá. From the courage of these visionary entrepreneurs the company grew and after some time, the company name changed to WEG, in reference to the initials of the founders. A name that is recognized today as one of the largest manufacturers of electric equipment in the world.

WEG initially produced electric motors, in the 1980s it started to expand its activities, making electrical and electronic parts, products for industrial automation, power and distribution transformers, liquid and powder coatings and electrical insulating varnishes. The company consolidated its position not only as a manufacturer of motors, but also as a supplier of complete industrial electrical systems.

L'histoire de la société, fondée par Werner, Eggon et Geraldo,est marquée par le succès. Les valeurs, croyances et idéaux défendus par les fondateurs sont profondément ancrés dans l'histoire de la société et sont à l'origine des nombreuses réussites de la société au cours de son histoire. WEG fut à même d'emprunter la voie du succès grâce aux forces sur lesquelles repose la société, à savoir l'intrépidité, le dynamisme et l'esprit visionnaire.
