Würth is a Global Sponsor Partner

For Würth, promoting excellence in training and the trades is a basic investment in the future. It is also important for us to be a competent partner to the trades in our core business of trading with assembly and fastening materials. Since July 2009, the Würth Group has therefore been supporting WorldSkills as a global sponsor partner.

Furthermore, various international Würth companies, for instance in Spain, Italy, Finland, Australia and Austria, support the WorldSkills organization in their countries.
