History
OKW cases have been developed and
manufactured in Buchen since 1951 - four years after the firm's
foundation by Dr. Herbert Schneider. The business started with the
manufacture of tuning knobs and radio cases. Then the first standard
case for the electrical industry joined in, the so-called flat-pack
case. A special asset of OKW are modifications according to
customers' requirements, like drilling, milling, printing,
lacquering etc.
Guided by the slogan
"To Each His Own Housing", the number of types and versions
offered had risen to several hundreds by 1984. This was a
good reason to start distributing these standard
cases through the Odenwälder Kunststoffwerke Gehäusesysteme which was from
now on legally independent.
Today, the export share of the total
turnover amounts to more than 50% of cases. Due to the foundation of
independent branches and to the cooperation with own reliable and
competent sales partners in France,
United Kingdom,
U.S.A., Switzerland,
Czech. Republic, Korea and
Brazil, immediate service and attention
can be safeguarded where it is necessary.
For the competent support and consulting of our German
customers we founded an independent sales company ORCA
Gehäusetechnik GmbH on 01.01.2001. Your personal contact in Eastern Germany is
OKW Kunststofftechnik.
The aim of the future will always be to
preserve and manage the company as family-owned enterprise. Together
with Mr Christoph Schneider, the company has already entered the
third generation.
