WOLF SYSTEM History –
From silo constructor to international specialists

WOLF System 1966


Founding of Wolf Systembau

Johann Wolf laid the foundation of WOLF Group by establishing Wolf Systembau GmbH on the family farm in Scharnstein, Austria. Merchandise and reinforced concrete tanks and silos for agriculture were the first products that subsequently formed an important and very successful part of our company.

Shortly afterwards there was an expansion of the product range of buildings for agriculture (machinery and feed storage facilities, barns, etc.) that increased the offering for agricultural customers.
