The company Waldburg Forstmaschinen GmbH was established on July 1993. As independent GmbH WFW was separated within the entrepreneurial group of the prince house Waldburg Wolfegg as framework place for forestry machineries. At that time WFW was contract dealer of the importeur for Timberjack in South Germany. A small clientele was developed to one more largely becoming customer master.
In November 1994 Mr. Klaus Reichenbach was obliged for the position as managing director for WFW. To the moment of that time WFW had 5 employees, already an own workshop with 3 service boxes, an own spare parts store and business premises.
1997 after contract ending with the Timberjack products it came to a new adjustment of WFW. Aim and Philosophy of Klaus Reichenbach was and is it, to offer a wider palett all around the forest engines for the forest engines entrepreneur. So appeared among other things already 1996 the idea to develop own special low loader for forest engines. The idea and concept of the Firm WFW was taken up from the Firm Empl in Austria and since then successfully selled.
In the course of the years have 7 products, Or. main points itself for the Firm WFW strengthened:

Also the spare parts trade has since 1993 strongly extendet and developed. So has WFW more than 8.000 part positions on stock-predominantly for used Timberjack engines and the own new engines products Tigercat, Waratah, MHT-Neuson, Bruks, Forus and Empl.
Since 1994 land and property belong to Klaus Reichenbach and since that time he is the only manager of the company.
Already 1 year after the assumption in the year 2000 the concern extended clearly. So in Autumn the new workshop, the spare parts and office rooms, as well as the own testparcours and the used engines place became consecrate.
