About PWO AG

PWO AG is a German industrial supplier listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX) in Germany. The group is focused on precision metal solutions for the mobility industry, with a strong automotive bias. Its headquarters are in Oberkirch, Baden-Württemberg, and the company traces its origins back to 1919, when Progreß-Werk Oberkirch was founded in Stadelhofen and began producing metal products. Over time, PWO evolved from a traditional metal processor into an international specialist serving global vehicle manufacturers and tier-one suppliers. At the core of the business is cold metal forming and the design of lightweight, high-performance components and assemblies. PWO’s product portfolio includes control unit housings and battery solutions, motor housings and airbags, air suspension and accumulator components, steering components, seat parts, body structure elements, and instrument panel carriers. The company positions itself as a technology-driven partner rather than a commodity metal stamper, leveraging deep know-how in materials, forming processes, tooling, and industrialization. Its value proposition is centered on lower vehicle weight, improved functionality, zero-defect quality, and solutions that work across internal-combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicle architectures. From a competitive standpoint, PWO stands out as a niche engineering-led supplier with a long operating history and a broad customer footprint in the automotive value chain. Its international presence is a key strategic asset: the group operates 11 sites in 7 countries across 3 continents, including Germany, the Czech Republic, Serbia, China, Mexico, Canada, and the USA. This network supports a “local-for-local” model, enabling close proximity to OEM and supplier customers in major automotive regions. Recent capacity expansion in Serbia, additional production and logistics capacity in the Czech Republic, and further development in Mexico underline the company’s emphasis on growth, operational resilience, and customer proximity. Recent highlights include the publication of the 2024 annual report, preliminary 2024 figures in early 2025, and ongoing expansion projects across the group’s international footprint. PWO has also continued to publish MAR Article 19 managers’ transaction notifications to BaFin, consistent with German listed-company disclosure requirements. For investors, PWO offers exposure to a specialized segment of the automotive supply chain, with a business model built on engineered metal components, global manufacturing reach, and a long-term shift toward sustainable mobility solutions.
