More than 160 well-trained specialists committed to your success.

The people at WBV

We are particularly proud of our over 160 employees, who are committed to this success every day. Well trained specialists continually take care of the acquisition of products, and therefore ensure the excellent material and quality of workmanship of our own imports. We also give between 10 and 15 apprentices a start in working life every year, and train them up as merchants in wholesale and foreign trade, specialists in warehouse logistics or technical warehousing specialists.

Four Decades of Passion, Reliability, and Vision
WBV Retires Authorized Signatory Michael Schwee

After more than 40 years of successful service, WBV Oelde is saying goodbye to Michael Schwee, a colleague who has played a decisive role in shaping the company for decades – both professionally and personally.

What began in the summer of 1981 with an apprenticeship at WBV developed into a remarkable career full of commitment, a sense of responsibility, and entrepreneurial passion. Michael Schwee assumed leadership responsibilities early on and played a key role in the development and further development of key business areas.

His working style was always characterized by calmness, diligence, and reliability – qualities that made him a valued contact for colleagues and business partners. With analytical thinking, a keen sense of market changes, and a keen ear for his environment, he was able to successfully shape the company for many years.

Michael Schwee was particularly valued for his ability to bring people together and cultivate networks. He knew how to recognize opportunities, foster potential, and explore new avenues – always with the goal of achieving the best for WBV.

"Michael Schwee was not just a colleague for many of us, but also a role model and friend," said the WBV management. “His loyalty, perseverance, and positive attitude shaped our company and will remain in our fondest memories.”

The entire WBV family sincerely thanks Michael Schwee for over four decades of loyalty, dedication, and passion – and wishes him health, contentment, and many happy moments with his family in this new phase of his life.

Dear Michael, we say: Thank you for everything. 
You will always remain a part of WBV!
