SELVE recognised as a global market leader

The Lüdenscheid-based company offers a broad and continuously developed product portfolio, supplying customers all over the world. “We produce around 20,000 belt winders every day on highly automated production lines that meet the highest quality standards,” explains Stracke, underlining SELVE’s unique position as the world’s largest manufacturer in this segment. The extraordinary variety of SELVE winders has once again contributed to the recognition as a global market leader in South Westphalia. Whether foldable mini winders, models for new builds, surface-mounted or flush-mounted versions, cord or gear-driven winders – “our product range stands for performance, endurance and continuous improvement,” emphasises Stracke. For decades, SELVE’s belt winders have been achieving national and international market success. The basis for these impressive production volumes is SELVE’s lean and systematic Lean Production process.

Belt winder success story recognised

Through its campaign “Global Market Leaders in South Westphalia 2024”, the SIHK honours outstanding success stories from one of Germany’s strongest industrial regions. This year, SELVE is once again among the recognised champions: Managing Director Ludger Stracke and Marketing Director Alexander Vogt recently received the official certificate from SIHK representatives at the company’s headquarters in Lüdenscheid. By systematically identifying global market leaders, the SIHK highlights the exceptional role of medium-sized family businesses like SELVE, whose inventions, patents and internationally demanded products make a significant contribution to the region’s economic strength. According to the SIHK, the key to global market success lies in several characteristics – such as long-term corporate management, technological specialisation, and continuous innovation. Thanks to its outstanding achievements, SELVE does not need to hide its status as a so-called “Hidden Champion.” “Through continuous product development and by maintaining the highest quality and production standards, we continue to set benchmarks in the market,” says Managing Director Ludger Stracke. Of the 165 companies recognised as Hidden Champions in the region, SELVE is the only one operating in the field of roller shutter technology. Download press release in the PresseBox
