The cross-museum project "Grenzprovinz Heinsberg - ein Landkreis mit vielen Facetten" was launched on June 25, 2021 in the Flax Museum Wegberg-Beeck. The patron District Administrator Stefan Pusch opened the exhibition.

We are very pleased to participate in this exhibition and are ready to introduce the Wibeco company and its products to the people of our province.

Quality for the painter - from disposable to reusable products
Since 2004, Wibeco also manufactures and sells products from the areas:

  • Clothing
  • Gloves
  • Painting Accessories
  • Machines
  • Polishing
  • Sanding
  • Workshop Equipment

Small scratches, a fender bender ... and then?
Small and large paint damages can occur on vehicles, boats, furniture as well as airplanes and should be removed to preserve their value. First, the damage is repaired, then it goes into the cleanroom-like paint booth. The cleaner the environment, the better the result. This is because dust and fluff can become trapped in the fresh paint. The result is time-consuming refinishing.

Why do I need a painting suit?
To reduce paint defects, the painter wears a cleanroom-type painting suit. Many use a disposable coverall that is disposed of after each painting operation.

Wibeco has been producing reusable coveralls since 1984 - a sustainable vision of the company's founder.

Wibeco quality criteria:

  • washable
  • antistatic (DIN EN 1149-5)
  • lint-free, due to continuous fiber
  • breathable
  • PSA guidelines
  • no metals and hard edges to avoid scratches on car paint
  • functionality and wearing comfort
  • flame retardant
  • attractive design
  • European textile manufacturing and production
  • 200+ applications

Why do vehicles need to be covered?
The application of the paint by means of a high-pressure paint gun creates a lot of paint mist inside the paint booth. To protect the vehicle, all unaffected areas must be covered. Typically, this is done with foils and paper. This is unecological and costs a lot of money.

With the beginning of the foundation, reusable covers were developed. The covers, produced in Europe, are used by the automotive industry worldwide.

Wibeco's assortment:

  • Car covers for cars + trucks
  • Car tire and rim covers for car + truck
