Weber Autoglas

What Weber Autoglas does

Weber Autoglas GmbH (legal name: Autoglaseinbau und -Vertrieb C.W. Weber GmbH) is a private, family-founded auto glass repair and replacement service provider headquartered in Würselen, Germany, with a cross-border branch in Baelen, Belgium. Incorporated in 1990 and tracing its origins to a 1983 family business, the company employs between 11 and 50 people and self-describes as market leader (Marktführer) in the greater Aachen-Eupen region. Its core offerings span windshield, rear window, and side window repair and replacement; stone chip repair; emergency glazing; ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration after windshield replacement; window film coating and tinting; and dent removal. A distinct specialty glazing vertical addresses non-mainstream vehicle categories including construction equipment (cranes, excavators), classic/vintage cars, US-spec vehicles, emergency service vehicles, trucks and buses, commercial vehicles, and motorhomes.

The business operates through two physical workshops (Würselen and Baelen) plus a mobile service fleet that dispatches technicians to customer locations for on-site repairs. Revenue is primarily transaction-based: consumer customers holding partial casco insurance have stone chip repairs billed directly to insurers at zero out-of-pocket cost, while self-pay customers face published starting prices (€79 for repair, €34 for ADAS calibration, €125 for UV film, €215 for tinting). B2B fleet customers receive individualized pricing and multi-year contracts. The company claims 120,000+ completed repairs and 45,000+ customers across 40+ years of operation, holds TÜV Rheinland certification (since 1999) and ISO 9001 certification (since 2004, transitioned to ISO 9001:2015), and maintains an inventory of 1,600+ glass types to support rapid turnaround.

Following the June 2023 death of founder Christiane Weber, ownership and managing director duties transitioned on January 1, 2024 to Björn Hillemacher (nephew of the founder) and Torben Sachs, who jointly manage the company. The firm operates as an independent private entity with no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no parent company. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
