Product overview
WEICON is a German family-owned company (since 1947) offering two main product divisions: WEICON Chemie (chemical specialty products) and WEICON TOOLS (precision stripping and crimping tools). The WEICON Chemie division encompasses Kleb- und Dichtstoffe (adhesives and sealants including 1K and 2K systems such as silicones, MS polymers, cyanoacrylates, anaerobic WEICONLOCK products, and epoxy adhesives), Technische Sprays (technical sprays for rust removal, lubrication, and protection), Flüssig-Wirkstoffe (liquid agents for industrial-scale cleaning and surface treatment), Montagepasten (assembly/anti-seize pastes), and Hochleistungsfette (high-performance greases including food-safe variants). The Epoxy Solutions sub-line provides filled epoxy systems (ceramic, steel, bronze) for wear protection, casting, and repair applications. WEICON TOOLS offers specialized cable processing equipment including cable knives, wire stripping pliers (notably the Abisolierzange No. 5 Pro series), crimping tools, and tools for solar energy applications, with the Green Line sub-brand featuring eco-friendly tools from renewable raw materials. Both divisions serve industrial, trade, and DIY markets across applications in mechanical engineering, food/pharmaceutical, energy, automotive, and maintenance sectors.
