Our history
10 years of Würth IT - over 30 years of experience
Since our beginnings in 1980, we have established ourselves as an innovative IT partner within the Würth Group. With the founding of Comgroup GmbH and its integration into the Würth Group in 2003, we have continuously expanded our expertise. In 2014, Comgroup became Würth IT. The vision was clear and ambitious: an international IT company that would drive the digital transformation within the Würth Group and offer innovative IT solutions on a global scale. Ten years later, we can look back on a journey that has taken us from Bad Mergentheim to São Paulo and Kuala Lumpur - a journey full of growth, innovation and international expansion.
1980
In 1980, Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG started its first IT projects within the Würth Group.
Comgroup was founded as the first SAP system house for medium-sized companies. In 2003, Comgroup officially became part of the Würth Group. The strategic focus was on consulting, building up and securing know-how in the SAP environment.
A significant step in the international focus was taken in 2004 with the founding of Comgroup in China.
1994
2007
The product portfolio was expanded to include services in the areas of IT security, e-commerce and IT services.
In 2009, the WS1 system became part of the Würth Group's corporate strategy. The first Go Live took place in 2010 and by 2013, more than 15 companies were already using the system.
Comgroup is now an integral part of the IT service house of the Würth Group and focuses on enterprise resource planning, warehouse & supply chain management, business intelligence as well as finance and human resources.
2009
2014
Comgroup becomes Würth IT. The official launch took place in October 2014 with the unveiling of signs at our locations in Bad Mergentheim and Schorndorf.
One year later, the IT departments of AWKG also became part of Würth IT.
With the opening of the location in Waldzimmern in June 2015, which also houses the Würth Group's first data center, a secure basis for the IT infrastructure was created.
In the same month, our international expansion began with the establishment of Würth IT India - a decisive step to expand our IT expertise to the Asian market.
2015
2016
In 2016, the first of a series of major WS1 go-lives took place with Würth Italy. In the following years, further projects were successfully implemented in Spain, France and Norway with their respective Würth companies.
This spirit of innovation led us to Berlin in 2017, where another location was opened.
Not to be forgotten is the 40th Würth Online Shop launch, which demonstrates the increasing importance of e-commerce for the entire Würth Group.
2017
2018
In 2018, together with Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG, we opened the Würth Group's first 24-hour branch, which was a strong signal of our customer focus and flexibility.
In the same year, Comgroup Shanghai was officially renamed Würth IT (Shanghai), a further step towards strengthening our global IT strategy.
The year 2019 brought us special recognition: Our Würth Online Shop was named the best B2B shop in 2019 - proof of the high quality of our digital solutions.
The first issue of our internal magazine "Your IT" was also published in 2019, and has since become an important communication tool for our IT group.
2019
2020
The year 2020 marked a significant development with the start of the One IT project and the establishment of our joint competence center structure within the three companies of the IT group.
This development strengthened our position from a decentralized IT strategy to a central IT service provider within the Würth Group and enabled us to respond more efficiently to the needs of our customers.
2021 was all about IT security: With the Go2WGSSecurity project and the successful certification according to DIN ISO 27001, we have established ourselves as a reliable and secure IT partner.
2021
2022
The merger of 80 IT employees from Würth Elektronik with Würth IT in 2022 further strengthened our team and our expertise.
The “Würth IT goes WF4” project was also successfully launched this year.
Our expansion journey continued in 2023 and 2024: With new locations in Würzburg and Düsseldorf as well as the founding of Würth IT Brazil in São Paulo, Würth IT Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur and the reactivation of Würth IT USA in Chicago, we underline our global orientation.
Another milestone was the switch to S/4HANA.
2023
2024
Würth ITensis AG is renamed Würth IT Switzerland AG. The name change reflects the connection to the IT Group and the commitment to offering innovative and value-adding IT solutions within the Würth Group.
