MAKERS - WIRO Präzisions-Werkzeugbau GmbH

MAKERS. About us

Wilfried Rohlje

no longer wanted to have a boss who called the shots, telling him what could and could not be done. He knew that much more than others thought was possible.

He became his own boss. A boss who never responded to challenges with “We can’t do this” but with “We’ll get it done”.

It’s precisely this can-do attitude that characterizes WIRO to this day. We get things done.

This is probably one of the reasons why we are one of the world’s leading mold makers for the production of closures and closure components.

For customers in more than 80 countries. Many of them have become friends over the years. Not least thanks to Reiner Rohlje and his ability to feel at home in all cultures.

That is also what characterizes WIRO: an extremely trusting, cordial and close collaboration with great respect for one another. With customers, partners, employees.

“We are valued around the world for how we interact with people and take on their challenges. It’s the mix of empathy, experience and the courage to try new things.”

Reiner Rohlje, Managing Director

Our team:

a team of experts.

The prerequisite for the economical production of high-performance injection molds is employees who understand their craft.

Doers with a passion who see a new challenge in every mold. Experts who are familiar with and comfortable using the latest technologies and most economical production methods, think along with the customer and make optimal use of all possibilities.

Together, we set milestones in mold making time and time again.

For instance:

unscrewing by means of hydro- or servo motors, enclosing caps ino mold or direct cooling of rotating mold cores, the development of new cooling and demolding systems, use of special steels and coatings. And those are just a few examples.

The export share of WIRO production is between 80 and 90%, distributed among customers from over 73 countries. As of 2022 we have 50 employees. To date, WIRO has trained well over 100 apprentices.
