Distinctive innovative strength, comprehensive system expertise and customer-specific product development down to the smallest detail. For over 25 years, Würth Industrie Service GmbH & Co. KG has seen a head start and progress as the key to success and has relied on automated, digitalized system solutions and the highest product quality for more than 1,400,000 items in the area of integrated production and operating supplies for around 20,000 customers. The C-Parts partner, which is also known for having one of the most modern logistics centers for industrial supply in Europe, has now won the "Germany's Most Innovative Companies 2024" award from the established business magazine Capital and Statista, one of the leading data and analysis institutes.
There is no doubt that Germany is the business location that is considered among world’s leading “innovation elite” and the "Made in Germany” seal is a guarantee of quality internationally. As part of the study on "Germany's most innovative companies in 2024", 465 companies have now made their mark with top performance in twenty industries and industrial sectors ranging from automotive industry and chemical sector to energy and environment. Using a broad-based methodology, the survey was conducted among representatives of innovation award-winning companies and Statista’s panel of experts called “Expert Circle” and their recommendations for the categories products & services, process innovations and cultural and social innovations were comprehensively analysed in the period from 28th September 2023 to 17th November 2023. The result: Würth Industrie Service is one of Germany’s most innovative companies.
Insights: Voices from the management

Always one step ahead: progress through innovation
Innovative technologies in line with modern C-Parts management succeed hand in hand with one’s own customers as well as with partners from science, trade and industry. A dedicated Digital Business Development & Innovations department deals with future-oriented trends for targeted management and coordination of innovation projects and collaboration with start-ups. Würth Industrie Service’s ability to innovate is visible in its supply systems, which engage in high level of automation. In addition to the battery-operated iPLACER®, which uses RFID technology not only for the ordering process, but also for inventory management, the digital rack label iDISPLAY, which displays all information relating to items, filling quantity, availability, storage location and upcoming replenishments directly at the point of use, also ensures maximum productivity. An almost independent, logistical storage management for C-Parts can be achieved with iSCALE, a sensor?controlled scale that is directly connected to the Kanban bins and reports the requirements of production materials and other small parts based on weight. With iSCALE pal, weighing technology can now also be used for pallets. But that's not all! The expert has also been focussing on innovative technologies in the field of production-related MRO materials for over 10 years. The intelligent ORSY®mat vending machines ensure efficient materials management and enable a lean supply. For example, the ORSY®mat WGT detects the withdrawal of items through its integrated weighing cells. Currently, more than 20,000 customers are already using over 1,800 vending machines, more than 15,000 RFID solutions and more than 2 million Kanban bins.
The C-Parts partner is also continuously increasing its level of automation and digitalisation at the heart of the Würth Industrial Park, one of the most advanced logistics centres for industrial supply in Europe. Modern, fully automated high-bay and shuttle warehouses with a capacity of over 650,000 storage locations, 34 kilometres of conveyor technology, camera inspection systems, autonomous bin shuttles and self-learning robots together with modern IT systems are used.
