1979: Founding of HWI | Weutscheck Industrievertretung – Specialist Distributor for English Electric Relays in Germany

A Milestone in German Industrial Electronics Distribution

In 1979, HWI | Weutscheck Industrievertretung was founded, marking the beginning of a dedicated journey in the distribution of high-quality English relays in Germany. The company quickly became known for its technical expertise, reliable service, and deep understanding of industrial automation requirements.

At the time, HWI focused primarily on the English Electric (E.E.) relay range, which later became part of G.E.C. (General Electric Company). These relays were widely used in industrial automation, control systems, and energy applications across Germany.

Specialisation in English Electric Relays

HWI | Weutscheck Industrievertretung distinguished itself through its specialisation in English relays, offering German customers products that were known for:

• High reliability and precision

• Compliance with British industrial standards

• Longevity and consistent performance in critical systems

By concentrating on English Electric relays, HWI built a reputation as a trusted partner for industrial customers seeking both quality components and technical guidance.

Early Contributions to the German Market

From its founding, HWI served a growing need in the German industrial sector: importing and distributing specialized British relay technology. The company provided:

• Expert advice on relay selection and application

• Efficient distribution channels throughout Germany

• Long-term technical support for industrial automation systems

These services helped German companies integrate English Electric relays into their systems reliably and efficiently.

Transition to G.E.C. Relays

When English Electric’s industrial relay division became part of G.E.C., HWI continued to act as a key distributor in Germany, ensuring uninterrupted supply and technical support. This continuity solidified the company’s position as a dependable distributor for high-quality British relays.

Foundation for Today’s Casadaa Expertise

The founding of HWI | Weutscheck Industrievertretung in 1979 laid the groundwork for what would eventually evolve into Casadaa Distribution’s extensive industrial component expertise. The values established then—technical competence, reliability, and long-term partnerships—remain central to the company today.
