About Us
The success story of WENKO-WENSELAAR begins at the end of the fifties. With a sound instinct for better ideas for the household, the necessary inventiveness and entrepreneurial passion, the founders, Wietze Wenselaar and his wife, Maria Köllner started off by marketing the metallised ironing board cover in Germany. At that time this was an absolute novelty and formed the basis for the later business success of the family company, whose name “WENKO” originated from the combination of the founders’ names, Wenselaar and Koellner. When Hanns-Joachim Köllner, the son of the founder family, joined the company, the “Ironing” range and the household portfolio were further extended at the end of the sixties, and market with continued success.
