About Winterhalter

A FAMILY COMPANY WITH COMMITTED STAFF.
Down-to-earth. Forward-looking. Familial. The culture and values of our family have shaped the Winterhalter company for three generations. Close to staff, clients and partners. Long-term thinking with a view to the generations that will follow. Taking personal responsibility – all typically Winterhalter. We are proud of our family company. And we are pleased to grow a little more every day.


THE FIRST WINTERHALTER
It all began in 1947: Karl Winterhalter established his own company in Friedrichshafen. He started by salvaging scrap metal from the war, which he used to manufacture household goods. Pots and ovens, for example. A short time later he specialised and in 1957 launched the GS 60 model: the first commercial warewasher by Winterhalter. That was the starting signal.
Since then, the company has always pursued a single goal: perfect wash results as part of an efficient washing process. With this holistic approach, Winterhalter has developed from a machine supplier to the full system provider of ware washing solutions it is today. The company is now run by Jurgen & Ralph Winterhalter, the son and grandson of the founder.
MADE IN GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND
As ever, it is not simply an indication of origin, but a seal of quality: products made in Germany and Switzerland are recognised worldwide for their premium quality and absolute reliability. For engineering skill, ingenuity and precision. Winterhalter is the perfect testament to this: in Meckenbeuren, Endingen and Rüthi we develop and produce solutions for first-class cleanliness and hygiene. This we pledge for every single warewasher that leaves our factory.
