Wagner History
The electric power spray tool that Josef Wagner developed in 1953 was
produced in his own plant and sold with great success to painters and
homeowners. In 1965, the company began the development and production of airless
high-pressure paint spraying equipment for painters, decorators, and industrial
paint shops.
Having established this second main product division, the company quickly grew
into Europe's largest maker of airless paint spraying equipment and systems. The
mid-1970's saw the start of development work on pneumatically operated paint
spraying systems.
Meanwhile, for the same range of customers, the company designed and started
producing a broad range of electrostatic paint spraying and powder coating
equipment.
Wagner Supplies The World
From its early years, the company directed much of its activity toward export
trade.
In 1963, Wagner established its first wholly-owned foreign subsidiary in
Switzerland. Relocated in 1973 from Lucerne to Altstatten in the Swiss Rhine
valley, the firm operates today as J. Wagner AG. To supply the largest market,
the United States, Wagner set up as early as 1972 its own distributing
subsidiary in Plymouth, Minnesota. In 1978, Wagner opened its own U.S.
manufacturing plant.
