redefining wire. since 1815.

Paths at the BenderWire Group.

Three paths. One group. Over 200 years of substance and a network of plants that helps people grow — from the first day of an apprenticeship to group-level responsibility.

Why here?

Substance, not stage.

The BenderWire Group is a grown family business. Over 200 years of industrial history, a family-owned group — and people who take responsibility here instead of putting on a show.

Tradition meets high tech

A family business with roots going back to 1815 — that at the same time works on Industry 4.0 plants, drives AI automation, and produces wire thinner than a sixth of a human hair. Down to earth — and ahead of the curve.

Family. In every sense.

The BenderWire Group is family-owned — and real families work here too. Fathers and sons, brothers, three generations under one roof. Starting here means joining a plant culture that holds — over decades, and over generations.

Paths that really keep going

From apprentice to production manager. From mechatronics technician into plant engineering. From working student into group-level responsibility. Most people who come here stay — and keep developing.

"We are family-owned. And families work with us. Neither is a coincidence."

Timo Fichtel, Managing Director
