strong is not enough
pewag has hundreds of years of experience in the manufacturing of chains and their components. Since the first documented reference of its forging plant in Brueckl 1479, pewag group became one of the leading chain manufacturers worldwide and the oldest manufacturer of chains and their components. Today its success is based on well-engineered state-of-the-art quality products.
The range of products varies from traction chains for tires (snow chains for passenger cars, trucks and special-purpose vehicles, tire protection chains for mining vehicles) over different industrial chains to products for the do-it-yourself sector (light chains, belts, etc.)
