Today we start with our series “PREWA History”.
The first part is about the origin of PREWA Verpackungsmaschinenbau.
Many years of experience in the form, fill and seal packaging machine industry led the two founders, Eckardt Wagner and Eckehardt Preuß, to establish Prewa Verpackungsmaschinenbau GmbH on July 1, 1983. The name PREWA was represented by the first surname letters of the founders (PRE Preuß / WA Wagner).
The beginnings were in premises in Biebertal/ Rodheim in the Karlstraße 21. Quickly it was clear that these were not sufficient and on 15.5.1987 a new building in the Großen Busecker industrial estate was moved into. Until today and by several extensions / enlargements, the company Prewa Verpackungsmaschinenbau GmbH expanded.
We hope you enjoyed our first part of “PREWA History”!
Next week Monday we will publish part 2 with the topic “Innovation: Pneumatic Drive Technology”.
