Baden-Württemberg's Minister President Winfried Kretschmann visited together with Böblingen's District Administrator Roland Bernhard and our Mayor Wolfgang Faißt
the WS Group in Renningen to find out about advanced environmental technology. The focus was on the future of energy supply for our industry. Green hydrogen as an energy carrier will play a key role in the future energy system. A good exchange between politics and industry is therefore important in order to recognize current trends and create the right framework conditions.
Our Managing Director Joachim Wünning presented the broad portfolio of innovations from the WS Group:
These aspects will be discussed in the WS Group among others at our affiliated companies and in close cooperation with the Science edited.
We would like to thank you for the exciting visit and the interested questions and are already looking forward to the many opportunities for cooperation that were jointly identified.
Energy efficiency and environmental protection are the focus of the steel industry: WS delivers major order - retrofitting industrial burners instead of building new plants. The most economical way to comply with emission limits and maximum efficiency.
The targets set for CO2 savings and the reduction of NOx emissions at a well-known automobile manufacturer were achieved by using WS burners with ceramic finned recuperators in gas-fired pusher-type furnaces.
WS has been known worldwide for decades as the undisputed technology and market leader in the field of industrial burner technology for the thermoprocessing industry. For next-generation products, state-of-the-art manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing are of course also used.
The WS Group was blessed with beautiful weather on April 30, 2025 when almost 500 guests accepted the invitation to "Dance into May" to celebrate the inauguration of two newly built halls in Renningen. With a large number of employees, customers, suppliers and political guests, the day was an entertaining experience that included in-depth technical discussions as well as joint networking.
