A long tradition and trend-setting innovation in one company.
BURG-WÄCHTER is one of the leading international producers and suppliers of padlocks, door and window security, measurement technique, safes, cash boxes, letter boxes and access control. However, our real “product” is security. People trust in our products as they can rely on them.
History
From domestic crafts to modern industrial production.
In 1920, Alfred Lüling founded a trading company, which initially took over the exclusive distribution in Germany from the then leading lock manufacturer BURG. The company expanded later to other countries, but had to stop the sale temporarily during World War II. After the war Lüling started the distribution of locks again. In 1950, his three sons joined the company. At the same time the company changed its name and since then bears the name BURG-WÄCHTER. Today the company is managed by the 3rd generation and the 4th Generation is learning for the future.
Setting up an own manufacturing facility in Wetter Volmarstein formed the basis for further growth. Another production facility was taken into operation in Meinerzhagen-Valbert in 1964. The capacities have now been extended several times. Today BURG-WÄCHTER uses advanced industrial production capacity, but the care of the craft tradition has been preserved. This is the secret to high product-quality.
Brand
Security in the name of the castle. Our trademark since 1950.
For many decades, clients from all over the world associate the brand BURG-WÄCHTER with quality products “Made in Germany”. Its roots go back to the 19th Century, when the company F.W. Lüling was founded in Volmarstein. The company was a specialist in the manufacture of padlocks, which were sold under the trademark BURG. The name refers to the town’s landmark, the castle of Volmarstein. Until today, its ruin can be seen from a long distance in the river Ruhr valley. In 1950, at the beginning of the economic miracle, the descendants of Mr. Lüling have launched the new brand BURG-WÄCHTER. It represents both our company and our products.
Philosophy
Who is committed to values, can create values.
BURG-WÄCHTER is a family business with a more than 90 years old tradition. Experience and knowledge are passed on from generation to generation. Our success is also due to a corporate philosophy that is not solely focused on products. One major cause is our constant focus on Christian values that characterise our entire business activities. These values are the foundation on which we make decisions and deal with the people with whom we get in contact as a company. Hereby the trust is created that customers and employees place in our company and which is the source of our success.
The basis for sustainable success.
The success of BURG-WÄCHTER is based on the excellent quality of our products. This quality is based on a very solid foundation – the high sense of responsibility of our staff. They are proud of the results of their work and they know that not only millions of customers have been made happy, they also secure the future of their company.
The key to the future.
Constant development is the key to shaping the future. We continuously deal with new technologies and develop products that fulfill their purpose even better and better as customers always develop higher demands as well.
Examples are electronics and digital technology. BURG-WÄCHTER is a pioneer in the development of electronic locks for safes. We were able to gain a high level of expertise and experience in this field which now can be applied for innovative solutions in door locks and access systems.
Thus we are able to offer products to our customers that meet the highest security standards and also provide a level of comfort that extends well beyond conventional lock and key systems. And all this at prices that everyone can afford.
