The Founding of WAGO

1990-1999

The Dawn of a New Era

The fall of the Berlin Wall changed the world. In this transformation, WAGO saw opportunities and actively pursued them, achieving the most extensive expansion in its history. A new facility was founded in former East Germany. International locations were added in the UK, India, China and Italy. When the patent expired, CAGE CLAMP® took off around the world, prompting the motto: “If you’re already using spring pressure connection technology, stick with the original.” In addition, debuting the modular, fieldbus-independent I/O System in 1995 helped WAGO break into the automation technology market. Its development of the POWER CAGE CLAMP in 1998 simplified spring pressure connection of conductors with cross-sections up to 95 mm².
