In 1982 Heinz-Jürgen Wermke, ManfredLinn, Albert Loch and Peter Griebel joined forces and founded WELLGO GmbH in Idar-Oberstein. The aim of the company was the production of injection moulds and plastic injection moulded parts. For this purpose, two floors of an empty factory building in Idar-Oberstein were rented, where the company moved into in April 1982 with five tooling machines and five injection moulding machines.
