Who we are

Over 100 years of history

One hundred years – a milestone that few companies are fortunate enough to celebrate. Founded in 1921, WECO has woven itself into the tapestry of human history. When the first television hit the market, when man landed on the moon, when the Internet became accessible to all, we were hard at work doing what we do best: engineering innovative connector solutions for a variety of industries.
This century of success was made possible by our devoted team, our trusted partners, our steadfast suppliers, and our loyal customers. Today, WECO’s presence proudly spans the entire globe, from the Americas to Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North Africa.
