W.AG FUNKTION+DESIGN GMBH

The company W.AG Funktion + Design GmbH, based in Geisa/Rhön, was founded in 1992 by Wolfgang Wagester and currently employs 180 staff members. The managing director is Bertram Göb. In its early years, W.AG initially started as a supplier of technical injection-molded components but soon developed its own product range in the area of cases and containers. The company achieved a major breakthrough in 1997 with the plastic case TEKNO, which has sold over eleven million units worldwide to this day. Other product lines included the stackable storage boxes FOX and the presentation box SALSA (2001). Building on this success, W.AG developed numerous additional series of cases, containers, and boxes in the following years, such as the small product packaging SWING (2004), the heavy-duty case HEAVY (2006), the series JAZZ (2008), the slim plastic case BEAT (2010), the logistics case DIXIE (2012), the high-quality special box MAMBO (2012), and the highly functional design case TWIST (2016). Alongside the development of cases and containers and the continuous expansion in injection molding technology and toolmaking, the company also built manufacturing competencies in the areas of foam processing (water jet cutting, milling, laser engraving) and printing or identification technology (screen printing, pad printing, in-mould labeling, digital direct printing). Over the years, one of the most modern companies has emerged in Geisa.
