Wiebe Group
With an eye for detail – since 1848
Building bridges – this turn of phrase applies in a number of ways to the building competence of the Wiebe Group, especially with reference to the company’s own history and philosophy.
Ultimately, the company with its workforce of about 1200 employees is marked by the constructive awareness of its past combined with a vision of the future.
The headquarters of the Wiebe Group have been based in Achim, to the south east of Bremen since 1993. The innovative and functional building stands out thanks to the modern mix of brickwork, glass and aluminium which reflects the future-oriented strategy of the entire Group.
And even the company’s tradition-seeped past is eternalised in the building’s shape: when viewed from the air, the building forms a large ‘H’ in honour of the original founder H.F. Wiebe. Despite his unwavering faith and confidence, the carpenter from rural Dörverden would probably never have dreamed what the future would hold in store when he laid the foundations of his own carpentry shop in 1848.
As large and versatile as the Wiebe Group has now become, it has managed to retain its family feel. This is rooted in the company’s long-standing history and I am sure that this is an additional boost for each of our projects. Everyone plays their part and relies implicitly on mutual trust and team spirit – just like a large family.
The resulting Wiebe Group is now a combination of several successful companies that are committed to the principles, continuous growth and the traditions of the Group.
And nothing has changed since then. The company is still managed by the Wiebe family, now in the sixth generation. It has always been able to adapt to the changing needs of the market through thanks to its excellent market instincts and a flexible approach.
One particular milestone in the company’s history was its decision to enter the track construction market in 1932 and this has led to the completion of a great number of large-scale successful track construction projects over the years.
However success is never static; it demands a constant high level of professionalism, willpower and above all team spirit. This is why the Wiebe group relies on a tried-and-tested mix of qualified employees and an extensive machine pool to continue its rail-bound path successfully in the future.
The existing workforce and newly recruited specialists in other areas also form the foundation for the expansion of our large customer-oriented performance potential that covers various sectors of the construction industry. For instance, the group has also made a name for itself in real estate project development with the Wiebe subsidiary ‘Wiebe Immobilien Projekte GmbH (abbreviated to: WIP)’.
We build bridges, both literally and figuratively speaking; cross this bridge with us and let us plan your successful project in detail. One thing we have certainly not lost over the past 160 years is our farsightedness as far as the market is concerned – on the contrary!
