Our heritage
In 1949, 20 year old entrepreneur Mr. Alfons Watteeuw (1929 – 2014) founded “p.v.b.a Watteeuw”, as a one-man business. He was a young and ambitious man with a mission. From early on he was already passionate about mechanics, which he inherited from his father, Mr. Henri Watteeuw. Henri was the first certificated technical teacher in West-Flanders (Belgium). He wrote 14 educational books and was a well-known speaker and guest lecturer at technical universities. With the support of his father, Alfons Watteeuw succeeded in building up a successful business towards what IGW is today. He became and still is an inspiration for our employees, that is why the ‘W’ in the current company name still refers to the family name of our founder.
