Successful family-run company managed by the 3rd generation

We, the company Werfring, are one of the most renowned transport and logistics companies in Europe. At our company, a traditional handshake meets technical progress.

Since as early as 1965, our family-run business, which is now managed by the 3rd generation, has stood for reliability, safety and quality in the areas of transport, logistics, cleaning and tank wagons. In the process, preserving our corporate culture—the source of creativity, quality and trust—is a particular concern of ours.

Our company has grown constantly over the years, both with regard to its people and its strategy. This growth has been aided by our idea of progress and the individual solutions for our customers. These are a key part of our strong corporate DNA. Thinking in solutions. Solutions that are not only devised for the short term but also support your long-term success.

Because you—as our customers with your individual requirements—are the focus of our activities.

Creativity and Expertise

At our company, enjoyment in our own performance is the most important prerequisite for our success together. Enjoyment releases energies and generates creativity and enthusiasm.

Sustainability

Let’s conserve resources together! When old traditions meet technical progress, one thing must never be neglected: economic sustainability.

As a 3rd generation family business, this topic is particularly close to our hearts. So that we can work as green as possible—for you, your families and the environment—we have already implemented the following measures:

Power supply through photovoltaic system

Our site in Mannswörth is entirely self-sufficient in electricity thanks to the installation of a photovoltaic system (generating 980,000kWh).

Water treatment plant

Fresh water savings, valuable raw material recovery and thermal energy recovery via sewage sludge are just a few of the advantages of our water treatment plant.

Modern gas flaring system

Our modern gas flaring system enables us to guarantee an environmentally friendly combustion process for the gases to be purified. The gas flare system is used to clean tank wagons.

Economically sustainable transport

The use of telematics systems enables optimal route planning and thus a reduction in the number of empty kilometres to be driven to a minimum.
ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified
Fuel saving through permanent driver training and further education of our employees
Vehicle fleet is exclusively state of the art

Steam reuse: Refinery product

The process steam of the refinery in Schwechat is a waste product of the refinery process. This is used for steaming in the cleaning process, as well as for the entire heat supply of the Mannswörth branch. This steam normally has to be generated with high energy input.

Team

Together stronger. We inspire our customers every day through teamwork on an equal basis and always with a smile on our face. At our company, there is the right contact person for every one of your requests.
