The anniversary year - 150 years Wilo
There was every reason for Wilo to celebrate in 2022: The company marked 150 years since it was founded in Dortmund in 1872. This anniversary was celebrated at all of the company’s locations, including Dortmund, Beijing, Buenos Aires, the USA and Turkey.
The festivities were opened by Oliver Hermes and Dr.-Ing. E. h. Jochen Opländer at the kick-off event in February.
The family festival at the Wilopark in September was attended by around 3,500 employees, family members and friends. Musical accompaniment was provided by the in-house Wilo band composed entirely of employees, which was formed specially for the occasion.
The anniversary was also celebrated at Wilo’s site in China in September. More than 800 employees of Wilo China gathered with family members and friends to enjoy events including the cutting of a five-tier birthday cake.
Wilo USA celebrated the anniversary in June along with the grand opening of the new headquarters of Wilo Americas in Cedarburg.
Landmark anniversaries were also marked in Turkey, where Wilo has now had a presence for 30 years, and the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires, where Wilo LATAM celebrated its 25th birthday.
