Product Description
-------------------
The Company
Westermann & Co. was founded in 1867 as a family enterprise based
in the Sauerland and celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2007
The brand Wesco stands for metal manufacturing in the classical
manner – a combination of excellent German quality, an exclusive
design and high tech functionality. A long experience in
manufacturing and high tech form a perfect unity giving Wesco
products their unique design
Soon after its establishment in 1867, the company speed in
the processing of metal plates for household goods and has since
continuously extended the range of its products.
In the 1920s, Wesco introduced the “ash can” into its product
range, after the war it launched its first “pedal bin”. Today,
the range of household goods includes more than 50 waste bins in
various designs. Some of these products are modelled on the
historic precursors which have inspired the use of classic design
elements in the development of modern products.
Wesco design is characterised by the company's long-standing
experience with metal as working material. Because we are
familiar with the material we work with, we are able to shape it
in a new and exciting way.
DESIGN AND TRADITION
In the USA - the land of unlimited possibilities and
unfortunately of unlimited volumes of t as well - t
containers in the typical American dimensions of 50 litres and
more have been in production since the 1920s. These bins were
originally developed for the catering trade, but soon found their
way into American households.
But it was not until the 1970s that the American 't can'
celebrated its triumphal as symbol of the typically American
design. This feat was achieved with the help of a German exchange
student in the US: Egbert Neuhaus, the current managing director
of Wesco. During his stay in Texas, one of these typically
American t cans caught his eye - and it was 'love at first
'. Neuhaus brought the product idea back to Germany with him
to his her's factory.
Due to long years of experience in metal processing the
Wesco-team brought the necessary expertise to the table for
re-designing the American 't can'.
Based on the American idea of 'large volume large input flap',
the body and the semicircular lid of the t bin were adapted
to each other in such a way that the proportions were perfectly
well suited to one another, and topped off by a large,
technically solid input flap made of stainless steel and stable
handles.
Further technical details were added. Now the only thing missing
was a new name: based on the writing engraved on the flap, it was
christened 'Pushboy' - the first child of an entire family which
today comprises more than 20 design products.
ORIGINAL QUALITY - MADE IN GERMANY
Modern technology and finest materials guarantee the quality and
longevity of Wesco products: high-quality powder-coated or
galvanized sheet-steel and stainless steel are being used.
Stainless steel is known for its durability and rust resistance.
The company strategy regarding functionality is based on a
combination of high-tech and tradition: Projects designed at the
computer are undergoing extensive test phases for function and
sturdiness, before starting with high-technology production.
Decades of experience in craftsmanship take care of the final
touch.
