For more than a century, Woelm GmbH has stood for tradition, innovation and quality, setting standards in the fields of architectural hardware, sanitary equipment, and conveyor technology. Evolved from the two companies HELM and KWS, the medium-sized family-owned business based in Heiligenhaus, North Rhine-Westphalia, today employs around 265 people under the leadership of Managing Director Karl Kristian Woelm.

Under the brands HELM Sliding hardware, KWS Architectural hardware, KWS Sanitary, and HELM Conveyor technology, we develop and manufacture innovative products and product systems:

With the brand, HELM Sliding hardware , we offer well thought out solutions for modern residential and public buildings. These include sliding systems for doors made of timber and glass, heavy sliding gates, sliding shutters, cantilever gates, curtain tracks for industrial use, cinemas or theatres, furniture doors and special applications such as harness tracks for fall protection.

The brand, KWS Architectural hardware , stands for intelligent, functionally high-quality applications for all aspects of doors. The broad range of hardware extends from door handles and flush handles to door holders and door buffers to handrails and systems for partition walls and coat racks.

KWS Sanitary stands out with flexible and ergonomically designed solutions for barrier-free and multi-generational living. The KWS ErgoSystem® includes high-quality drop-down support handles, seating solutions, shower rails, and other bathroom accessories that seamlessly blend into a wide range of architectural settings – from private homes and hotels to hospitals.

As a conveyor specialist, we offer a diverse product portfolio with HELM Conveyor technology and, as a full-service provider, supply everything from a single source – from planning to steel construction, automation to assembly and commissioning. We even provide the maintenance service for the conveyor system. All systems designed by us are individually tailored solutions for specific application.
