In the 1960s and 1970s, garbage collectors and bread boxes were used only. Their design and decors are subject to the spirit of the time. Although the range became more colourful and the first stainless steel products appeared, the waste collector was still a necessary evil in the kitchen and bathroom and was primarily designed according to functional criteria. Rising mountains of garbage - and their disposal - were just a hotly debated topic among experts in the 1980s. WESCO launched the double eco - collector in 1985 as the first manufacturer. The range of built-in products is continuously expanded and now includes more than 250 items with problem solutions for every need and every kitchen. In 1989 a new era began at Wesco with the introduction of the 'Pushboy'. If a waste collector had previously been considered a necessary evil in the kitchen, the Pushboy becomes a piece of furniture for the kitchen for the first time from the 'ugly duckling'. The Pushboy has developed into a cult object.


He is the godfather for a range of today more than 60 design products from the kitchen accessories and waste collector sector. In 2004 the Grandy was launched. A retro-style bread box like you know it from grandma's kitchen. Hence the name 'Grandy', from the English 'grandma'. The Grandy has become a favorite with the public and is available in many different colors in many kitchens around the world. For some time now, the Grandy has also been offered as a real design classic in the shop of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.Īfter extensive renovation work created in 2011 the brand experience center VILLA WESCO with Outlet, furniture exhibition, cooking school and restaurant on the WESCO company premises in Arnsberg.
