Company History and Evolution
Widenta’s interesting history represents 80 years of its continuing operations. In 1938, the factory was founded by Ferenc Chorin, who with his family generated 10% of the Hungarian GDP at that time. After the 1949 communist takeover of Hungary, Widenta became a Comecon strategic company and changed its name. Its production continued. The factory was privatized by a German businessman after the collapse of the communist regime. Later the company was acquired by strategic investors and the company has fully modernized its industrial equipment. After some major investments, Widenta is currently one of the largest grinding tool and cutoff wheel factories in Central Eastern Europe. The factory delivers unique industrial orders under the well-known global brand name Widenta.
