WEKA AG

the winning proposition of a hidden Swiss champion

WEKA is one of the global leaders for level indicators and cryogenic valves. Whether in the helium plants of
CERN, in hydrogen filling stations or in submarine tanks – WEKA products measure and regulate fluids and
fluid gases under challenging conditions. The cryogenic valves even work at a temperature of -270 degrees
Celsius. They are tight enough to handle a pressure of 1000 bar and thin-walled enough to give off almost
no warmth to the fluid.

A new film portrait demonstrates the reason behind WEKA’s success:

  1. We constantly develop our products further, cooperating with renowned research institutions such as the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) or the ETH Lausanne (EPFL).
  2. We strive for the highest quality. Our products are required to function without any reworking or repair.
  3. We fulfil all our customers’ special requests.
  4. We give our highly qualified employees the freedom to live their passion for outstanding work.

One of our customers of many years captures our winning proposition in a nutshell: “Excellent quality,
excellent service, exceedingly innovative, customer-oriented solutions."
