Founded in 1901
The origins of our company date far back. On 7 December 1901, Joseph Ellendorff established a furniture factory that would later become Westag AG.
The name Westag stands for a long-established and successful company that has been making its mark for more than a century. Our creative and motivated employees, high-tech production, deliberately sustainable operations and highly efficient logistics make us one of the leading European manufacturers of wood-based products.
