Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG
Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG is a German limited partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) registered at the Amtsgericht Lemgo under commercial register number HRA 2790, with its registered office at Klingenbergstraße 26, 32758 Detmold, North Rhine-Westphalia. The current legal entity was entered in the commercial register on 5 February 1948, when the business was re-established in Berlebeck near Detmold under Gottfried Gläsel after the Second World War; the wider Weidmüller enterprise traces its origins to a textile and press-stud manufacturer founded in 1850. Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG is recorded as active on the German commercial register.
The company manufactures industrial connectivity products, including terminal blocks, connectors, printed-circuit-board terminals, overvoltage protection devices, industrial switching and automation components, and associated software and digitalisation tools for machine building, panel building, process industries, energy, transportation and other industrial-electronics applications. It operates as the principal German manufacturing and engineering entity of the Weidmüller Group, alongside a network of manufacturing plants and sales subsidiaries that the wider group states extends to more than 80 countries.
Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG’s shares are not admitted to trading on any stock exchange; it remains privately held. The wider Weidmüller Group reported consolidated group revenue of approximately €980 million and around 5,700 employees worldwide, including roughly 2,000 at the Detmold site, for fiscal year 2024, according to trade-press reporting; these figures describe the consolidated Weidmüller Group rather than Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG on a standalone basis, and no separately reported entity-level turnover or headcount for the legal entity was identified during research. In autumn 2024 the group opened a new electronics factory in Detmold as part of a reported €56 million annual investment in production and R&D capacity. The commercial register also records a merger of Klippon Engineering GmbH into Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG, entered on 20 August 2025.

Shareholders of Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG
As a GmbH & Co. KG, Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG has a single disclosed limited partner (Kommanditist) rather than a conventional shareholder register. Commercial-register data confirms Weidmüller Holding AG & Co. KG, Detmold, as the sole Kommanditist, holding a capital interest of €20,010,000 (ordinary interest, nominal €1 per unit), equivalent to 100% of the disclosed partnership capital, per the register position confirmed 28 October 2025 and cross-checked against company data verified 4 September 2026. No other Kommanditisten are disclosed. The general partner (Komplementärin), Weidmüller Interface Führungs GmbH, holds no disclosed capital interest and instead acts in a management and unlimited-liability capacity; see the Group structure and Officers sections.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural person is named as an ultimate beneficial owner of Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG in the sources reviewed. Weidmüller Holding AG & Co. KG, the sole Kommanditist, is itself reported to be controlled by the Gläsel family – descendants of Gottfried Gläsel, who re-established the business in 1948 – through investment vehicles including Gläsel Beteiligungs GmbH and Peter Gläsel Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG, alongside a limited-partner interest held by CORO Capital GmbH. Public reporting also states that the Joachim Herz Foundation acquired a minority stake in Weidmüller Holding AG & Co. KG, reported at around 20%, through a 2024 capital increase, with the Gläsel family retaining majority ownership and control. Because the individual ownership percentages across this holding-company layer were not fully reconciled from a single primary filing during this research, no calculated effective UBO percentage is presented.
Data availability
Classification: Major shareholders only. The direct 100% Kommanditist interest in Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG is fully disclosed on the German commercial register; ownership within the parent holding company, including the Gläsel family’s and the Joachim Herz Foundation’s precise interests, is described in secondary reporting rather than a directly reviewed primary filing.
