Using its high level of skill and technological experience in medical compression, it has tapped into new business areas and target groups, such as the sports brand CEP (2007) and the lifestyle brand ITEM m6 (2011) for high-quality stockings and functional bodywear.

Proud of our German roots

In 1951, Wolfgang Weihermüller crossed the “Green Border” near Rudolphstein. In his backpack, he transported components of a valuable knitting machine. Arriving in Bayreuth, he laid the foundation for the internationally successful company medi with this knitting machine.

Wolfgang Weihermüller’s courage to leave the former GDR and take production machines with him could have cost him his freedom. But his urge to leave was greater. Thus, he brought the knowledge he acquired in the parental company in Pausa, Saxony, in the production of stockings and bodices to the Federal Republic of Germany. Together, with his cousin Günter Voigtmann, he founded the company WeCo.

The seed capital consisted of three knitting machines and the expertise in rubber knitting. Driven by the entrepreneurial spirit, both men started the production of medical “rubber stockings” in a former Bayreuth dance hall.

Looking to the future

With purpose, drive, spirit and a clear vision for the future, medi looks to continue on its path of developing innovative solutions that add value to its stakeholders, while continuing to make people feel better with our comprehensive therapy solutions
