pewag Opens New Manufacturing Facility in Vamberk, Czech Republic
On 17 September 2026, pewag officially opened its new manufacturing facility in Vamberk, Czech Republic. It is a major milestone in the company’s history, and a clear statement of intent: a long-term investment in safety, quality and the reliable lifting solutions that customers around the world depend on every day.
A global celebration in Vamberk
Colleagues, partners and customers travelled from across the world to join the grand opening. Guests toured the new facility, saw first-hand where and how pewag products are made, and spent time exploring the local area together.
The event was also a chance to reflect on how the project came together. A facility of this scale is the product of years of planning, engineering and teamwork, and the opening recognised the dedication and innovation of everyone involved.
An investment in safety, quality and the future
In lifting, there is no room for compromise. Every component has to perform exactly as specified, every time, often in demanding conditions where people’s safety is on the line.
The Vamberk facility strengthens pewag’s ability to meet that standard. It is a commitment to safety, an investment in consistent, high-quality manufacturing, and a foundation for the next generation of pewag lifting products. For customers, it means continued confidence in the components they rely on, backed by the people, craftsmanship and investment behind them.
Built on Relationships
Above all, the event in Vamberk underlined what sits at the heart of pewag’s business: the relationships with customers, partners and colleagues around the world. Bringing them together to see the new facility in person was the best possible way to mark the occasion.
pewag would like to thank everyone who contributed to the project, and every guest who joined the celebration and helped make it such a memorable event.
