Because we are familiar with the material we work with, we are able to shape it in a new and exciting way. Wesco design is characterised by the company’s long-standing experience with metal as working material. Some of these products are modelled on the historic precursors which have inspired the use of classic design elements in the development of modern products. Today, the range of household goods includes more than 50 waste bins in various designs. In the 1920s, Wesco introduced the “ash can” into its product range, after the war it launched its first “pedal bin”. Soon after its establishment in 1867, the company specialised in the processing of metal plates for household goods and has since continuously extended the range of its products.
