WSD – Werkzeuge, Schrauben, Drehteile GmbH
From a small trading company to a leading supplier of die forming tools and machine parts in the metalworking industry
Founded in 1994, WSD, initially a purely trading company, in the course of its development became a supplier of tools for cold and hot forming of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, brass and other alloys in horizontal and vertical multi-station pressing machines.
The company’s origins can be traced back to a rented factory hall and an office container with just two employees. Due to the dynamic development, a former furniture warehouse in an industrial area in Gotha was acquired in 1998 and gradually rebuilt for the company’s own needs.
In the early 2000s, the need to create our own production facilities became obvious.
By 2006, we had established production facilities in a joint venture in India. In 2010, we began forming our own machine park in Gotha. Since then, WSD has been able to offer a complete range of cold and hot forming tools.
Today the Gotha location houses 2,000 square meters of modern production space, warehouse and office. We plan to double the area and have already taken the first step in this direction by purchasing the appropriate land plot.
Continuous investments in the company’s infrastructure to optimize all processes, such as logistics, digitalization and modern quality assurance, are the key to our competitiveness today and in the future.

Eco-friendliness plays an important role in our daily lives. We not only take environmentally friendly technical measures by reducing waste, improving the insulation of our buildings or reusing waste heat energy. We also have a flower meadow, our own beehives and a small orchard on site.
We plan the development and organization of the company taking into account the opportunities and challenges of digitalization!
This is gradually affecting all areas of the company, from materials management to accounting, from logistics to vacation applications.
The first fully digital measuring station in the quality control department has already been installed, a new server has been launched and the first phase of modernization of office space has been completed.
Plans for 2023/24 include the introduction of new ERP software for enterprise resource planning followed by the digitalization of all warehouse accounting. We will double our warehouse capacity and completely update warehouse equipment taking into account the principles of ergonomics! The second phase of office space modernization will begin in 2024.
To achieve a reasonable expansion of production, it is necessary to construct a new building. Currently, the new building is in the design stage to obtain the appropriate building permit.
