Woit was founded the day
after the second
world war ended (13 december 1946) by the woit
brothers.
At the outset, the company
centred on the sub-contracting and construction
of sub-assemblies for the cycle industry. A small
foundry for
casting non-ferrous metals was quickly added.
Over the years, the foundry became specialized
in shell
moulding, in particular the casting of aluminium
bronze.
Thanks to its close proximity to large contractors
such as Fabrique Nationale, Acec
and Cockerill, this small workshop underwent rapid
technological development.
In 1988, the expansion of the Woit brothers’
activities gave rise
to the creation of the newly named "Nouvelle
Société Woit”.
The new Board of Directors adopted a development
policy that focused on :
- Maintaining and developing its moulding technology
while
improving processes and moving into the casting
of different alloys.
- Ensuring greater value added
for the parts manufactured
by offering a comprehensive finishing service
and modernizing
the workshops with digitally-controlled machines.
The company now offers an
all-inclusive parts manufacturing service,
produces its own die casts and sand and shell
moulds, and provides
a machining and assembling service for all metal
parts. |
