WERMA Signaltechnik GmbH + Co. KG
"Leading Signals. Smart Solutions."
German manufacturer of modular signal towers (est. 1950, Rietheim-Weilheim); inventor of the KombiSIGN; 390+ employees; wireless factory monitoring systems.
WERMA Signaltechnik GmbH + Co. KG is a German manufacturer of industrial signaling and process monitoring equipment, founded in 1950 by Werner and Erich Marquardt and headquartered at Dürbheimer Straße 15, 78604 Rietheim-Weilheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The company is currently led by Matthias Marquardt. WERMA is globally recognized as the inventor of the world's first modular signal tower: the KombiSIGN, patented by Erich Marquardt, which enabled field-configurable stacking of signal elements and set the standard for industrial status visualization. Today, WERMA has grown to over 390 employees and operates subsidiaries in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, China, and the United States, making it one of the largest global suppliers of signal towers.
WERMA's product line spans four main categories. First, signal towers and stack lights — including the KombiSIGN 40 and KombiSIGN 71 modular families, pre-configured signal towers, and high-visibility multi-segment LED displays such as the eSIGN series (PROFINET-enabled). Second, beacon lights and sounders for machine and zone status indication. Third, WIN (WERMA Industrial Network) — a radio-frequency-based wireless machine monitoring system that connects machines and workstations over RF without cabling, enabling real-time OEE tracking, downtime alerts, and automatic replenishment signaling (Kanban). Fourth, smart factory software and analytics platforms that collect production status data from wireless signal devices and surface dashboards for line managers and maintenance teams.
WERMA's solutions are deployed across discrete manufacturing, automotive assembly, electronics production, logistics, and packaging environments. The eSIGN product series received recognition for PROFINET integration, enabling direct connectivity to PLC networks without additional gateways. The company has been consistently recognized as one of Germany's top SME innovators.
