The medi success story
One night in 1951 Wolfgang Weihermüller put all his eggs into one basket: He crossed the ‘Green Border’ at Rudolphstein. In his backpack he carried parts of a valuable knitting machine. Having arrived in Bayreuth, he used this knitting machine to lay the foundation for the internationally successful company, medi.
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.
