iwis Group
The iwis Group stands worldwide for high-quality technical products and customer-focused services. Our corporate culture is shaped by our identity as a family-owned business.
iwis is organised in a decentralised structure and divided into three independently operating business units. The parent company is iwis SE & Co. KG.
The holding company, based in Munich, performs central management, coordination and supervisory functions. This structure ensures consistency in fundamental corporate matters while allowing us to respond quickly and flexibly to market demands.
The holding is supported by a Supervisory Board, made up of representatives of the owner families, and an Advisory Board consisting of industry experts.
The iwis corporate divisions are
- mobility systems
