Die Unternehmensgruppe

The WEMAS Absperrtechnik GmbH has established itself as a leading provider in the German market for integrated and certified road barrier solutions.

Our product range includes a wide selection of high-quality products for the mobile and temporary securing of worksites.

Beyond our core business, we are expanding with a variety of plastic products, including mortar tubs, barrels for battery transport, and ballast plates for sunshades. This diversity enables us to meet the needs of our customers across various industries optimally.

Last year, we achieved a mid-double-digit million-euro revenue at our German locations, underscoring our innovation and expansion strategy.

Together, we are shaping the future of traffic technology and contributing to increased safety and efficiency in road traffic. We are convinced that our path of growth and development will continue to yield positive results—for the benefit of our customers, employees, and partners.

 

Our sales focus exclusively on large customers and the trade. We place great importance on a partnership-based collaboration and tailored solutions. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and our dedicated team of over 150 employees is ready to ensure first-class service. Together, we are committed to meeting the highest quality standards and being a reliable partner for our customers.

Since 1971, we have specialized in securing worksites in civil engineering and road construction. Quality, service, and short delivery times are a given for us. We develop our products in accordance with BASt regulations and align them with the needs of our customers.

Energy Management

WEMAS pursues ambitious goals to increase energy efficiency and protect the climate. For many years, we have been monitoring our energy consumption and further professionalized this process in 2020 by implementing an energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001. This system is audited annually by a certification body as part of energy audits. Our goal is to precisely record and analyze energy flows and processes within the company to sustainably reduce energy consumption.

Quality at WEMAS – for Safe Roads

At WEMAS, the quality of our products is our top priority. Thanks to our in-house development and production, we have full control over all processes, allowing us to guarantee consistently high quality "Made in Germany."

At our locations in Gütersloh and Wonfurt, around 150 dedicated employees work to ensure road safety worldwide.

Our plastic components are manufactured in-house and professionally assembled under strict quality controls. The individual parts we source are also subject to thorough inspection to ensure they meet our high standards.

Before a product with mechanical or electronic functions leaves our facility, it undergoes rigorous inspection by experienced specialists. These comprehensive tests are part of our commitment to quality and ensure that every product meets the highest requirements.

With a powerful distribution network, we ensure that our products reach every corner of the world. This uncompromising quality is not only our standard but also our responsibility for road safety.

Product Testing

In addition to our internal quality controls and product tests, we have our products externally certified to ensure their suitability for their intended use. The certifications are carried out by the relevant authorities depending on the product group.

In the field of passive traffic technology, the requirements of the TL (Technical Delivery Conditions) apply, defined by the BASt (Federal Highway Research Institute), confirming the conformity of our products with applicable regulations. Additionally, our portfolio includes products certified by TÜV, which are regularly tested for their safety in use (GS-certified safety).

Our history

A Pioneer in Traffic Technology with a Long Tradition

WEMAS was founded in 1971 as a trading company for tool technology and machinery. By 1978, the "S" in its name took on a new meaning: road safety technology. WEMAS was among the pioneers in developing, manufacturing, and distributing products for securing workplaces and construction sites across Germany. At that time, the market was still largely undeveloped, with a lack of uniform regulations for worksite safety. As one of the first manufacturers in this sector, WEMAS played a key role in ensuring that Germany now maintains a high level of safety and has established internationally recognized standards for product approval criteria and application guidelines.

 

Market Leader in Passive Traffic Technology

This pioneering spirit led to numerous product innovations and a transformation of the portfolio—from primarily sheet metal-formed products to durable and easy-to-handle plastic items. Today, WEMAS positions itself as a full-range supplier with all the necessary legal approvals and certifications. The combination of top-quality products, efficient production processes, and dedicated employees has made WEMAS a leading force in the market. This professionalism ensures that when you choose a WEMAS product, you are always making the right decision.

The Hidden Champion Based in Gütersloh

For us, innovation means not only new products but also first-class service and optimized processes. We are committed to continuously improving our production methods so that you can continue to rely on our core products (over 85% of our portfolio) in the future—"Made in Germany" and "Made in Gütersloh." Our dedicated team of 130 employees works daily to ensure your satisfaction. Your trust in our quality is our greatest motivation!

 

20 Years of Innovation – The Success Story of the Barrier Fence!

This year, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of our barrier fence! Originally made of metal, we have been using plastic for two decades, providing an innovative solution. We look positively to the future, hoping for many more groundbreaking product developments and business successes—together, we shape the future!

 

The WEMAS Group Becomes Part of Sekisui Jushi Corporation

At the beginning of 2024, the WEMAS Group was acquired by Sekisui Jushi Corporation (SJC). This strategic alliance holds significant importance for the future.

Delivery Performance 2.0

Our Delivery Performance

Reaching the excellence level in order fulfillment for several years was not enough for us. That’s why we have further developed our delivery program:

  • Our warehouse program has been further refined so that we don’t just produce these items for stock—we always link them to the NOS principle (Never Out of Stock, always available).

  • Products ready for shipment within 5–10 working day

  • Even more complex customization options can be produced and delivered within 5 or 10 days once the technical specifications are clearly defined—an impressive achievement!

  • Of course, we can’t anticipate every request in advance. That’s why some products in our portfolio require us to determine the exact delivery time. Simply reach out to us, and we’ll quickly provide a binding response.

A bee colony on our company premises

Our contribution to environmental protection

There has been a buzz around us since spring 2024 – literally! In collaboration with beefuture, we have set up our own bee colony on our company premises, demonstrating our commitment to active environmental protection and sustainable practices.

We wholeheartedly support this initiative. Bees are much more than just honey suppliers – they are a cornerstone of our ecosystem.

  • Over 80% of native flowering plants depend on bee pollination.
  • Around a third of global food production depends directly on pollination by bees and other insects.
  • The economic value of pollination is in the hundreds of billions of euros worldwide.
  • Successful pollination can increase yields by 5–50%.

However, the bee population is under threat:
Since 1950, it has declined by more than half worldwide. In Germany, more than 80% of honey now has to be imported, which is a clear sign of how important it is to take responsibility locally.

By establishing our own bee colony, we aim to contribute to biodiversity and raise awareness of ecological issues among our employees, partners, and customers.

We are delighted to be part of this sustainable movement.
