Company Profile / Company History

The success story of the family business began in a small garage in Steinbach in the Main-Spessart district. In 1986, Georg Weidner founded BGW-Bohr GmbH as a one-man operation and set up the first production facility with limited resources in the garage of his home. Soon, he was able to inspire others with his project and recruit employees and temporary staff. The garage quickly became too small, and after a move to Steinfeld, Georg Weidner and his team continuously expanded the company in the following years.

Georg Weidner, described by his employees as a dynamic founding personality, first completed an apprenticeship at the locksmith and metal construction company JOHA in Lohr and then worked for 10 years at Mannesmann Rexroth in Lohr before deciding to become self-employed in 1986. The company founder now looks back on an eventful company history: “With the goal of being one of the best manufacturers and suppliers of innovative built-in components for industrial and commercial construction, the company has been able to continuously develop.” Through this continuous development and ever-new ideas, the company’s image has fundamentally changed over time. The now medium-sized company employs over 50 people at its Steinfeld location, each of whom is highly trained and contributes to the success of BGW-Bohr GmbH.

The Steinfeld Production Site
The now medium-sized company employs over 50 permanent staff, and accordingly, the production site has had to be enlarged several times in the past through relocation or new construction. The company’s own premises today cover an area of over 30,000 m² with 8,100 m² of production and storage halls and 250 m² of office space.

Products and Quality
The product range has also adapted to market conditions. Initially, the company mainly produced small parts as a supplier to the mechanical engineering industry. Today, BGW-Bohr GmbH offers a complete proprietary product range of metal components as concrete built-in and supplier parts, primarily for the precast concrete industry. In implementing quality management, BGW-Bohr GmbH is particularly proud of its certification according to DIN EN ISO 9002 since 1996 by TÜV Produkt Service in the area of production and assembly.

A Family Business
Since 2004, both sons of the company founder, industrial engineers Jens and Michael Weidner, have been actively involved in the company. They are primarily committed to the development and international expansion of the company. Alongside Managing Director Georg Weidner, Michael Weidner has been the junior manager at BGW-Bohr GmbH since 2013. Other family members have also supported the company with great dedication for many years. Since 2024, both sons, alongside their father Georg Weidner, are also managing directors of BGW Bohr.

Anniversary and Expansion into New Segments
In 2016, BGW-Bohr GmbH celebrated its 30th anniversary and, in the course of the year, acquired the then-insolvent company Willy Kreutz in Steinfeld, whose main customers were Osram and Philips. Currently, thousands of products developed in-house by BGW-Bohr GmbH are on the market, used in concrete elements such as precast concrete ceilings, walls, and stairs. The number of over 500 customers in Germany alone and the enormously high export share stand for satisfied customers worldwide who are enthusiastic about the products, quality, and service at BGW-Bohr GmbH.

Outlook
In the future, the company will continue to offer both tried-and-tested and modern, individual solutions for a new building culture and will evolve with the times, its demands, and the requirements of its customers. This way, BGW-Bohr GmbH can continue to ensure excellent service and high quality.
