“Dedicated fighting spirit” and “total commitment to finding solutions” are a couple of the phrases used to describe Werner Wagner, our company founder and Managing Director. These traits were probably also what convinced his mother to provide the freshly minted electrical engineer with the start-up capital he needed to found his engineering office, Werner Wagner, Alarm- und Fernmeldetechnik.

Thus, the now 40-year-old WAGNER Group GmbH began its success story in a home basement. One particularly significant company milestone was the first major order it received, a three-million-mark deal to develop a lighting, video monitoring and detection system for the outdoor areas of the Gorleben nuclear interim storage facility. “The contract exceeded all of our expectations,” Wagner recalls. “What convinced the customers on the Gorleben project was the sophisticated protection concept—even a GSG9 squad was unable to get past the system. That was a big step forward for us.”

Today, the family-owned business employs around 610 people, and generated about yearly €94 in sales. WAGNER is the world’s technological market leader in early fire detection and fire prevention; son Torsten Wagner, who has been a Managing Director for years now, will one day succeed his father as the head of the company. As always, WAGNER’s standards remain its objective: to give companies around the world more safety and security through innovative fire protection!
