Under the leadership of André Wider, CEO since 1997, our company has undergone significant expansion. Today, we operate from three vast workshops totalling over 17,500 m² in Montreux, Bussigny and Geneva. In addition to our workshops, we have opened two showrooms in Bussigny and Crans-Montana, as well as subsidiaries in Cantù (Wider Italia) and New York (Wider Inc). This international presence strengthens our ability to serve our customers around the world with efficiency and excellence.
What sets us apart is our integrated approach, where synergies between our different entities and subsidiaries are at the heart of our success. This close collaboration enables us to offer a complete range of services, from initial design to custom manufacturing, installation and maintenance, meeting the diverse needs of private customers, companies, public institutions and prestigious brands.
We firmly believe in the importance of continuous innovation. Although we remain faithful to traditional wood craftsmanship, our ability to integrate cutting-edge technologies such as 3D drawings and CNC machines enables us to push back the boundaries of creativity and quality. This approach enables us to collaborate with top architects, interior designers and planners, who trust us to turn their most ambitious visions into reality.
Finally, our commitment to quality, exceptional customer service and our drive to exceed expectations are the pillars on which we build every project. For us, every piece we create is a testament to our passion for exceptional craftsmanship and our dedication to excellence.
Success doesn't happen by chance. It's the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.
