WEG

In 1961, Jaragua do Sul was a small town in the state of Santa Caterina and producing electric motors there seemed to be a risky endeavor. At the outset, the two great challenges to the founders of WEG were promoting the name of the company and demonstrating the quality of the products.

WEG grew quickly despite these difficulties, with production jumping from 146 pieces in 1961 to 4,085 the following year. WEG began to broaden its horizons in the 1980’s with the production of generators, electrical components, industrial automation systems, power and distribution transformers, liquid and powered paints and electro-insulating varnishes.

Today, WEG is represented on all five continents of the world, while being acknowledged as the largest manufacturer of electric motors in Latin America.

In order to conform to the highest and most demanding total quality control standards, WEG incorporates the latest technology into their manufacturing process. Most importantly, WEG still relies on the hard work and discipline of their employees, with a goal of total customer satisfaction.
