SWF: A Century of German Wiper Excellence

SWF — short for Spezial Werkzeugfabrik Feuerbach — is one of the automotive world's most enduring wiper specialists. The SWF story began in 1922 in Bietigheim, Germany, with the brand producing its first wiper blades and developing electrical motors, washing systems, and other automobile parts by 1927. Over the following decades, SWF continued to pioneer the industry: in 1935, the first wiper blades designed specifically for curved windscreens were launched, and by 1958, SWF had introduced wipers purpose-built for trucks and commercial vehicles.

In 1998, SWF became part of the French Valeo Group, aligning with what is today the world's number-one OE manufacturer of wiper systems. Far from diminishing SWF's identity, the partnership amplified it. Originated in Germany with over 100 years of expertise, SWF is widely recognized as the German wiper specialist. Today, the SWF brand is sold in more than 50 countries, designing and manufacturing in Europe wiper blades, motors, and components.

OE Quality for the Aftermarket

What sets SWF apart from generic replacement brands is its deep roots in original equipment manufacturing. Starting as a preferred supplier of wiper blades for numerous car manufacturers, SWF ensures its wipers meet original equipment standards — the same as your car's original wipers. Among the vehicles equipped with SWF products as standard are many models of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Renault, Volkswagen, and Volvo.

At the heart of SWF's product engineering is a commitment to durable, streak-free performance in all conditions. The brand uses its Duotec+ technology, featuring a combined rubber element made of synthetic and natural rubber, ensuring a perfect combination of efficiency and longevity. For drivers seeking a more advanced solution, the patented AquaBlade™ technology delivers best-in-class wiping performance by distributing washer fluid evenly along the entire blade for clearer visibility even at high speed.

A Full Wiping System Solution

SWF's catalog covers every aspect of the wiping system. Their windshield wiper blades form the cornerstone of the lineup, spanning conventional, flat, and hybrid designs to suit virtually any vehicle on the road. In 2017, SWF Connect was launched — a range dedicated to customers looking for an optimized flat blade with maximum car parc coverage for front and rear applications, and the first premium rear multi-connection range in the market.

Rear-window visibility is just as critical as front, which is why SWF's back glass wiper blades are engineered to the same exacting OE standards. Replacing a rear wiper blade regularly is an important step in improving overall driving safety. Rounding out the system, SWF also produces windshield washer nozzles — OEM SWF/Valeo nozzles that deliver an upgrade over original single-spray versions.

Built and Tested in Europe

Made exclusively in Europe, SWF supports local manufacturing, ensuring the highest quality standards while preserving industrial expertise. The brand offers a full range of premium wiper blades with a European coverage rate close to 100% for passenger cars, heavy-duty vehicles, and buses. Whether you drive a compact hatchback or a long-haul commercial truck, SWF delivers a solution engineered to fit correctly and perform reliably from day one.
