History of our medium-sized family business
Drive technology - engineering and distribution grow together
Today's JBW GmbH, a second-generation family business, sees itself as a competent partner in drive systems. The range includes complete modular systems - assembled from finished products and, depending on customer requirements, supplemented with special developments. This capability is based on our personal and entrepreneurial history.
2022 | Anniversary celebration - 40 years of JBW in the hands of the Wilden family
The 40th anniversary of JBW was a great occasion for us to celebrate - with the two founders Jutta and Horst Wilden, with the current owner and managing director Mirko Wilden and with the entire team including their partners and business associates.
2016 | Jutta B. Wilden says goodbye | Mirko Wilden becomes 100% owner
The company founder retires from active business operations in the spring, but remains on the advisory board. In the fall, Mirko Wilden finally becomes the 100% owner of JBW GmbH.
2012 | JBW builds a new company building and relocates
We move into our new company building in Munich-Freiham. The new premises offer generous opportunities to expand our engineering and logistics services.
2009 | Mirko Wilden takes over sole management of the company
The company will continue to be led by the same management team - only formally with a different line-up - and will continue to see itself as Your Partner in Drive Systems.
2005 | Mirko Wilden is appointed Managing Director
The management team of owners and managing directors is good for JBW GmbH, as the company is constantly evolving.
2001 | Company development together with the 2nd generation
After completing his commercial and technical studies and successfully representing a well-known company in the industrial heating sector, Mirko Wilden joins the family business. Parallel to his specialization in drive technology in technical customer consulting and product sales, he brings modern IT into the company - a merchandise management system, email and the Internet.
1999 | Conversion of the sole proprietorship into a limited liability company
Change of name to Jutta B. Wilden Bauelemente- und Gerätevertrieb GmbH - JBW GmbH for short.
1982 | Foundation of the company Jutta B. Wilden Bauelemente- und Gerätevertrieb
The conclusion of a distribution contract for SWF motors with the then ITT Automotive Europe GmbH, now NIDEC Motors and Actuators (Germany) GmbH, prompted Jutta B. Wilden M.A . to found her sole proprietorship Jutta B. Wilden Bauelemente- und Gerätevertrieb. The initially small warehouse in Munich has now grown to around 800 square meters with around 60,000 motors. This ensures short reaction times depending on market conditions. Reliability, flexibility and, above all, the ability to deliver stand for the second core competence of today's JBW GmbH: logistics services in distribution.
1982 | Foundation of the company IHW - Industrievertretungen Horst Wilden
The origin for the foundation of the former IHW was the takeover of the industrial representation for SWF motors of the former ITT Automotive Europe GmbH, today NIDEC Motors and Actuators (Germany) GmbH, by Dipl.-Ing. Horst Wilden. His extensive knowledge in the fields of electromagnetic technology, electromechanics, pneumatics and electronics as well as his many years of experience in the broad spectrum of industrial applications of DC drives formed the foundation for IHW's core competence, which was incorporated into JBW GmbH: the engineering component.
