At the end of the 80’s, Westermann & Co started a design offensive with their waste bins. Today, the built-in range offers over 250 articles with problem solutions for any need or kitchen. The idea of waste separation was also taken over for built-in bins – part of the Wesco product range since the 70’s. The following years brought the “eco collector” and its brothers and sisters, which offered two-fold to four-fold separations of private household waste. The company had been thinking about the increasing importance of waste separation for some time and developed a practical solution for the separation of private household waste. This is when Westermann & Co were the first manufacturer to introduce the “eco-double-bin” to the market. In the 80’s, increasing rubbish heaps – and their waste disposal – were a heavily discussed topic amongst experts. Designs mainly followed functional aspects. Despite a wider choice of colours and first stainless steel products, the waste bin was still a necessary evil in kitchen and bath. The constant increase of private household waste led to an expansion of the foot pedal bin range in the 50’s and 60’s. After the war, the company produced its first “foot pedal bin on a base” the foot pedal mechanism on the inside being the novelty. In the twenties, the range was joined by the waste bin. The company then gradually specialized in the processing of sheet-steel for household goods and continued to expand its product range. Founded in Arnsberg in 1867 as construction plumbers, industrial processing followed soon – starting with coffee flasks for miners and stable lamps. With its brand Wesco, Westermann & Co represent metal manufacturing in the traditional manner. The Wesco product range is being exported to about 50 countries worldwide with the most important markets being Benelux, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and the United States.

Since the beginning of the 90’s, the Wesco group and its high-quality, design-oriented products hold a strong position in the household goods market, which has led to a step-by-step expansion of the company. Pushboy, Baseboy and their product group are not just functional refuse chutes but design classics which have become integral parts of shopping centres, catering establishments, offices and private households.
