How a Small Workshop in Wipperfürth Became an Indispensable Partner in the Commercial Vehicle Industry

In 1976, surrounded by metal shavings, the smell of oil and an old lathe, one man in Wipperfürth asked himself a simple question:
"Pneumatic connections – there must be a better way."

No investor, no big stage, no marketing.
Just honest craftsmanship, technical ambition, and the determination to build things the right way.

From this small beginning, WIRA Fahrzeug- und Maschinenteile GmbH was born. Nobody back then could have imagined that a handful of precision-turned parts would one day grow into more than 7,900 products – yet it shows exactly where consistent quality leads.

Where WIRA Makes the Difference

Anyone working with commercial vehicles or agricultural machinery knows what pneumatic components must endure:long distances, heavy loads, vibration, heat, cold and contamination.
If even a single part fails, the entire vehicle is forced to stop.

Many suppliers rely on exactly that point – low-cost parts with limited durability that quickly generate replacement demand.

WIRA has taken the opposite path for 50 years.

Because:
The market is full of manufacturers who rely on wear.
Quality scales – wear does not.

Parts that last are not lost revenue.
They are one of the reasons customers stay.

Why Our Products Stand Out

• Manufactured in Germany – because it's the only way to reliably control every step of the process.
• Strict quality testing, certified according to IATF 16949 and ISO 14001.
• Custom solutions as needed, even in small quantities.
• No compromises: If something does not fit, it is revised – not accepted.

This standard of quality has remained unchanged for five decades.

WIRA Today – Tradition Meets Modern Technology

Modern CNC manufacturing, sustainable processes and a team that embodies the same values as back then:
precise work, technical clarity and the determination to create solutions built to last.

The principle of that first workshop in Wipperfürth is still valid today:
„Either done properly or not at all."
