The company Fritz Winter

From the foundation to a worldwide automotive partner.

Extraordinary companies are founded by extraordinary people. Fritz Winter undoubtedly belongs in this circle of people. His ability to inspire people with his ideas was crucial to the success of Fritz Winter Eisengießerei. Winter founded his first foundry in 1932 at the age of just 22 and built it up into one of the most important in central Germany before losing it through expropriation at the end of the war. But he did not give up and founded the Fritz Winter company, which today is one of the largest foundries in Europe that is independent of any corporate group.

A wealth of ideas, expertise, drive and an indomitable will to assert himself combined with human greatness and a sense of social responsibility - he anchored these values in the Fritz Winter iron foundry, so that they are still effective today.
