The history of Weiss dates back to the founding of Weiss GmbH by the Weiss brothers in Germany in 1922. Initially established as a manufacturer of combustion systems, the company quickly established itself as a major player in the field. In 1987, the German company was acquired by Nordfab A/S, a Danish firm specializing in extraction and air filtration solutions.
The year 1990 marked a decisive turning point with the creation of the French entity of Weiss. In 1995, a new shareholder, AP Moller, took control of the company and handed over its management to the existing leadership team. Under this new direction, Weiss became a French-owned company, fully independent. Alongside its counterparts, Weiss GmbH in Germany and Weiss A/S in Denmark, Weiss continues to thrive, building on its expertise in the development of innovative combustion systems.
