The WEDICO history:
The company was founded on 1st of June 1893 as "Wesenfeld, Dicke & Co." And through the Jate 1980’s the firm produced alloys for use primarily in printing. Technical advances in that industry - resulting
in the demise of hot-metal typecasting - robbed WEDICO of vital sales markets. In 1975 these were the reasons that touched off the
search for new products to satisfy demand previously unrecognized.
At this time the firm has been devided into two different fields of business, truck modelling and metal alloys. In 1996 both production areas became independent companies of each other: While WEDICO GmbH & Co. KG took over the field of modelling, WEISSMETALL Jörg Dicke GmbH & Co. went on as responsible for the production of metal alloys.
Intensive market research resulted in the fascinating idea of TRUCK MODELLING. As we were used to the NF metals, it was a natural progression for the models to be made from metal also. Aluminium
and stainless steel are particularly significant here. In order to translate this hobby into action, the WEDICO designers developed the system construction, which will continue as a basis for all future new
and advanced developments. The same is valied for the WEDICO Complete Kit programme.
We wish you relaxation and satisfaction when practising this special hobby. It is the WEDICO products that have created the world wide interest in TRUCK MODELLING.
