2013
The history of Wetrax GmbH is closely linked to the visions of two ambitious entrepreneurs. Niki Traxel and Nils Weber, two personalities with a shared passion for innovative technologies, joined forces in 2013 to create Wetrax GmbH. Their combination of technical know-how and entrepreneurial flair formed the basis of the company, which quickly established itself as a reliable partner in the field of fire protection and extinguishing system technology.
With a clear focus on quality, sustainability and customer-focused service, Wetrax GmbH grew steadily and expanded its offering to meet the constantly changing requirements of the market. The continuous commitment and pioneering work of Traxel and Weber have not only helped the company achieve numerous successful projects, but also an unmistakable reputation in the industry.
2016 - 2018
In 2016, Wetrax GmbH achieved a decisive success: its aerosol extinguishing systems were certified by VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH. As Europe's primary institute for corporate security and subsidiary of the German Insurance Association (GDV), the VdS stands for the highest standards in areas such as fire protection and safety.
This certificate attests to the high quality and reliability of Wetrax products. With this certification, the VdS, with around 500 employees and a portfolio that often serves as the basis for EN standards, has further increased its reputation and trust in Wetrax extinguishing systems and underlined its outstanding position in the market for fire protection solutions.
