The purchase of the "Bochslermühle" mill (Ulm) represents a technological leap forward in sheet metal production; the water power of the river "Blau" replaces muscle power.
![](files/timeline/1832_Preismuenze.png)
As the first and for a long time only brass manufacturer in Württemberg, Wieland is awarded a prize coin by the king.
![](files/timeline/1832_Koenig_Preussen.png)
Wieland stands out from the local competition in Berlin and receives a medal from the Kingdom of Prussia for his fine metal goods.
![](files/timeline/1832_Legierungen.png)
Wieland develops the first four brass alloys with good formability for industrial production.
![](files/timeline/1841_Muehle_Herrlingen.png)
In a former mill in Herrlingen - just outside Ulm - another rolling mill is put into operation in addition to a wire drawing mill.
![](files/timeline/1864_Manufaktur.png)
Thanks to high investments, industrial production of seamlessly drawn tubes begins at the Ulm plant.
![](files/timeline/1883_Weltgeltung.png)
In Vöhringen, the first rolling mill – still driven by hydropower – goes into operation.
![](files/timeline/1893_Werkseisenbahn.png)
The Vöhringen plant is connected to the industrial track system – a quantum leap for logistics.
![](files/timeline/1895_Dampfmaschine.png)
A new rolling mill in Vöhringen is operated with steam power for the first time, which significantly increases productivity.
![](files/timeline/1901_ErsteStangpresse.png)
The first extrusion press for profiles and tubes is put into operation in Vöhringen, the revolutionary process opens up completely new product categories.
![](files/timeline/1924_Induktion.png)
The foundry furnaces in Vöhringen are converted from coal to induction; hot rolling is systematically expanded.
![](files/timeline/1929_Presse6.png)
Press 6 goes into operation in Vöhringen; with a pressing force of 2000 Mega Newtons, it is considered the strongest extrusion press in the world.
![](files/timeline/1929_Warmwalze.png)
A new high-performance hot rolling mill in Vöhringen can process cast ingots at speeds of up to 160 metres per minute.
![](files/timeline/1933_Kon_Stranggiessen.png)
The continuous casting process for billets and plates is developed to production maturity with great effort.
![](files/timeline/1936_Leichtmetallprofile.png)
The production of light metal profiles from aluminium alloys begins on a special extrusion line.
![](files/timeline/1939_Lochkarte.png)
Automated data processing begins with the installation of Hollerith machines for processing punch cards.
![](files/timeline/1952_Schumag.png)
The combined drawing machine of the manufacturer Schumag enables the drawing of long tubes.
![](files/timeline/1956_Neues_Giessverfahren.png)
Continuous casting with oven-dependent moulds according to the ASARCO process enables final contour casting with the highest quality requirements.
![](files/timeline/1961_Rohrzug.png)
At the Vöhringen plant, a new pipe train goes into operation in a 220 metre long hall, thus completely restructuring the production of drawn products.
![](files/timeline/1972_Walzwerk.png)
Production starts in the new 360-meter long and 22,000-square-meter rolling mill in Vöhringen.
![](files/timeline/1993_Press-Zieh.png)
In the south of the Vöhringen plant, new presses and the integrated production of wires, rods and profiles set new standards.
![](files/timeline/1997_Schneidband.png)
Together with our supplier we develop and implement the current standard of slitting lines. Tight tolerances ensure productivity for the customer.
![](files/timeline/2002_Blockgewicht.png)
The doubling of the ingot weight leads to upgrading of the hot roll and pre-rolled strip production, larger ring weights increase the customer's productivity.
![](files/timeline/2007_Automotive.png)
The expanded plain bearings production in Ulm is an expression of Wieland's growing importance as a strategic partner to the automotive industry.
![](files/timeline/2007_Emobilteat.png)
Wieland enters e-mobility with first prototypes, and becomes an important supplier for electric drives with innovative copper products.
![](files/timeline/2008_Presse_Voehringen.png)
A new press in Vöhringen uses state-of-the-art process technology to process sophisticated materials and large-format pre-materials.
![](files/timeline/2011_Bolzengießanlage.png)
Another continuous billet casting plant ensures the supply of the high-performance presses.
![](files/timeline/2017_Geflechte.png)
Wieland launches environmentally friendly, robust and easy-care fish nets made of seawater-resistant brass wire for aquacultures.
