The pewag group goes back to a forge in Brückl (in Carinthia, Austria), which was first mentioned in a document in 1479, and has developed into one of the world's leading chain manufacturers. The group employs around 1000 people in international locations.
The family names Pengg and Walenta are in the company name . Hans Pengg founded the ironworks Hansenhütte in Einöd (Styria) in 1885 , which later merged with the Walenta company, a former chain plant in Graz , to form Pengg-Walenta-KG, which became a joint stock company PEWAG.
history
The forge in Brückl was first mentioned in a document in 1479. In 1787 the chain forge was founded in Kapfenberg and in 1803 the Graz location on Körösistraße was founded.
Almost 30 years later, an iron casting plant was built in Brückl and the world's first snow chain was produced in 1912. The name “pewag” was created about ten years later when the plants in Graz and Kapfenberg were merged. In the 1970s, sales companies were finally founded in Germany and the USA .
Pewag austria GmbH was founded in 1993 and a year later the first subsidiary was founded in the Czech Republic . In 1999 the Weissenfels Group was acquired, from which they separated again four years later. In 2005 the group split into Schneeketten Beteiligungs AG, which produces snow chains, and pewag Austria GmbH, which produces technical chains. In 2009 the Chaineries Limousines SAS was acquired
Production at the Graz location, Körösistraße 64a, formerly located on the upper left Grazer Mühlgang (drained / filled in before 1992) was closed around 2002, later completely abandoned and the building demolished in March 2008. The Pewag area extended east of the street named after Körösi up to Körnerstraße. In 2006 a development plan for mainly apartments on a 10,645 m 2 plot of land was discussed in the local council. The residential building with shops on the ground floor was completed in autumn 2011.
In Graz, the company headquarters was subsequently established south of the center at Gaslaternenweg 4.
