History

Over 100 Years of Innovation and Tradition

The foundation and the development of the Weber company is the story of committed, conscientious entrepreneurs in connection with sustainable customer relationships. It is about men who quite early accept responsibility and the role life has intended for them. But it is also about strong women who support these men, accompany them on their eventful journeys through life and give decisive impetus. And it is the story of employees who continuously support the company, share the burden of difficult decisions and are always loyal to their employer.
