In an engaging episode of PointNoted, the podcast by Hari Shanker, Managing Editor of Machine Maker, the spotlight turns to the human side of this engineering marvel. Hari Shanker sits down with Matthias Weigele, Sven Weigele, and Pascal Weigele—from the three generations of entrepreneurs—discussing the legacy of EWS, their passion for manufacturing, and how they continue to adapt to changing global trends while staying true to their roots.
A significant part of the conversation was centered around India, one of EWS’s key emerging markets. With four established dealers and a full-fledged EWS India subsidiary launching in 2025, the company is ready to deepen its impact in this fast-growing manufacturing landscape. The episode celebrates technology and the values of leadership, legacy, and global collaboration.
