The medi success story

Courage and entrepreneurial spirit

Wolfgang Weihermüller's courage in leaving the former GDR and taking production machines with him could have cost him his freedom. But his desire to leave was even greater. So, he brought the knowledge of hosiery and corsetry he had acquired in the family business in Pausa, Saxony to the FRG. Together with his cousin Günter Voigtmann he founded the company WeCo.

They initially started with just three knitting machines and a skill in rubber knitting. Driven by their entrepreneurial spirit, the men started to produce medical ‘rubber stockings’ in a former Bayreuth dance hall.

Challenging current issues was and still is medi’s motto. WeCo revolutionised compression therapy with the first seamless, highly elastic mediven stocking, bringing the first transparent compression stockings to the market in 1975.

At medi, our core values are deeply rooted in fostering a positive and solution-oriented company culture. We prioritize appreciation for our surroundings, motivation, joy in achievement, and a strong sense of community—collectively known as the "medi spirit." This ethos drives us to recognize challenges, reflect on them promptly, and implement improvements efficiently, reducing frustration and enhancing overall satisfaction. ​medi. ich fühl mich besser. | medi

Over the years, medi has continually evolved to better serve patients by expanding our product range and embracing innovation. From developing the first seamless, highly elastic compression stocking in 1964 to introducing the Spinomed back brace for osteoporosis in 1998, our focus has always been on enhancing patient care. The establishment of divisions like CEP for sportswear and ITEM m6 for fashion demonstrates our commitment to combining medical expertise with lifestyle needs, ensuring that our products not only provide therapeutic benefits but also align with modern aesthetics and comfort.
