Still family-owned and headquartered in Germany, the Group remains firmly committed to sustainable growth and long-term partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>With 67 subsidiaries, around 4,000 employees, and operations in over 50 countries across all continents, the ARDEX Group is strongly positioned on the global stage \u2013 generating annual sales of more than $1.1 billion. A solid foundation for driving innovation and advancing construction systems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>wedi, pronounced \u201cvee-dee,\u201d is a family owned German company.\u00a0 We invented the original \u201cwedi Building Panel\u201d, the first inherently waterproof tile backer board, which we continue to make today, in 1983.<\/p>\n<p>Taking it from there we have developed our wedi technology to engineer, design, and make complete shower systems\u00a0that will help you build and protect your entire custom tiled shower and wet room design from floor to ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>Every wedi product and our complete wedi shower systems are made with two principles in mind:\u00a0we use only premium quality raw materials and we build all the needed performances into one product.<\/p>\n<p>We also design these products to perfectly fit into our modular shower systems with as few parts to put together as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The simple nature of the wedi shower system helps prepare tiled showers very fast, because it includes relatively few parts and pieces,\u00a0and is easy to understand and assemble. \u00a0This helps the installer to create a more consistent shower installation that reduces the likelihood of error,\u00a0and is fully backed by a unique manufacturers\u2019 warranty.<\/p>\n<p>Both the premium material quality and the complete and consistent installation concept ensure that wedi showers last decades.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we manufacture in two wedi factories: in Germany, and in Batavia, Illinois.\u00a0Our company is active across the globe and is over 500 employees strong.\u00a0Our goal is to make a product that offers added value because it includes more quality, more built-in benefits, \u00a0and is more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>We want to make safe and complete installation systems, and we understand how every single wedi product performs within a whole wedi installation system over time.\u00a0Our products will later be finished with tile or stone, so we know they\u2019ll be doing fine as they work below the surface.<\/p>\n<p>We are doing lots of researching and designing in our wedi laboratories and workshops, so we can offer and respond to what we understand our customers want\u00a0from a building material product.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are a professional or DIY installer, a builder, an architect or interior designer, we are there for you and always close by on the installation site.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how we believe we understand best.<\/p>\n<p>All we do is done by following a lean concept and processes so we avoid any unnecessary waste in any part of the company\u2019s operation.<\/p>\n<p>We improve and reduce our impact on our environment in the best way we can. We make our product from a core material which is a plastic, and is not organic. This is a choice that allows our customers to build sustainable installations and buildings, however.<\/p>\n<p>Our product adds insulation to save energy, and reduces mold and mildew for cleaner air. Most importantly, wedi showers last.\u00a0This massively reduces the need for replacements, which have a much higher negative impact on our environment each time they happen.<\/p>\n<p>At wedi in Batavia, we source over 99% of our raw materials and product we need from safe and local partners in North America,\u00a0mostly from partners located in neighboring states, and we also source and make products in Germany which are imported into the US.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2017, we have started to build up our manufacturing in Batavia and by 2024, we will produce all our wedi products in Batavia proudly \u201c Made in the USA\u201d and also source 100% of all materials and product needed in North America.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/wedicorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/40-Years-post-40-collage-02.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;40 Years post &#8211; 40 collage-02&#8243; url=&#8221;https:\/\/wedicorp.com\/40-years-of-wedi\/&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;30%&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#0C71C3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">History of wedi<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/wedicorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/wedi-Underlayment-Kit-1024&#215;1024.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;wedi Underlayment Kit&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/wedicorp.com\/en\/where-to-buy\/&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;on&#8221; hover_icon=&#8221;&#x24;||divi||400&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; height=&#8221;235px&#8221; max_height=&#8221;235px&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#0C71C3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Where to Buy<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/wedicorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/WEDI_131-300&#215;200.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;WEDI_131&#8243; url=&#8221;https:\/\/wedicorp.com\/careers\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;on&#8221; hover_icon=&#8221;&#x24;||divi||400&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; height=&#8221;235px&#8221; max_height=&#8221;235px&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#0C71C3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Your career at wedi<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>wedi \u2013 What\u2019s Under Your Tile? \u00a0\u00a0 wedi is part of the ARDEX Group \u2013 United in shaping the future of construction.
