WOHWA Distribution North America, Inc.

Founded by Josef Wöhrl in 1949. The inventive spirit of the founder of our company, Josef Wöhrl, who died in 2000, still permeates the business today. Together with his brother Willi Wöhrl, he built up WÖHWA to its present greatness. The company has sparkled with innovative developments right from the beginning. The revolutionary invention of the gyroscopic measuring cell was Josef Wöhrl’s greatest personal success. In 1975, his invention was even granted a place of honour in the German Museum in Munich. A continuously improved model of the gyroscopic measuring cell is still used today in modern WÖHWA gyroscopic scales in order to determine the weight of heavy loads with an accuracy of one part in 106.
