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.
