Questions about Wick Machinery
Questions and answers about our company, the bottling plants, filling systems and capping machines:
Who is Wick-Machinery?
Wick-Machinery is an Austrian mechanical engineering company and has been operating on the German market for years.
Where are our roots and when did we start producing filling machines?
These go back to the year 1971 when Josef Wick founded a mechanical workshop in Vienna together with five co-partners.
At that time, the company produced, among other things, glove sewing machines, special components and the first filling machines and sealing machines.
How many filling machines-Customers do we have in Germany?
Currently, there are over one hundred registered Wick-Machinery customers in Germany alone, and the trend is continuously increasing.
To which countries do we deliver our bottling plants?
We currently deliver to four continents. Australia is the only continent where we have not yet bottling plants delivered. Our most important market is Germany.
Which industries does the company supply?
In general, we see ourselves as a partner for all industries that have a need for filling and sealing machines Our main customers include the pharmaceutical industry, manufacturers of diagnostics, cosmetics, chemicals and the food industry.
Are the machines intended more for small or larger companies?
WIMA's product range includes small and laboratory machines for start-ups as well as complete, interlinked filling, closing and labeling systems, which are mainly used by very large companies. The typical customers therefore range from one-person companies to multinational corporations.
A key feature of many of our machines is the flexible level of automation that can be selected. This means that many small businesses and start-ups now opt for manual or semi-automatic filling machine and then – in a sense synchronized with the growth of the company – this can be automated step by step through the installation of additional modules. The Wick machine grows together with the customer.
How do we manage to act so flexibly?
A key contribution to Wick-Machinery's recipe for success is its depth of production and service. The main process steps in machine production take place under one roof. We have our own engineering with the latest CAD tools, our own control cabinet planning and construction, a well-equipped mechanical production with modern processing machines, assembly, laboratory and quality control.
The research and development department is also located at the same site.
This creates short production routes and rapid response options to changing requirements.

You have a direct, competent contact for innovative filling technology. This individual support for each customer is a matter of course for us.
Complete planning, engineering, production, assembly and pre-qualification are all under one roof in our factory near Vienna/Himberg. This allows us to respond quickly to your needs.
