About Us.

CWC Textil has a rich history in yarn production and trade, dating back to 1871 when Johan Jakob Frey established the company in Zurich, Switzerland; it remained in the Frey family until 1950 when Carl B. Weber took over the business and changed the name to Carl Weber & Co. Today, CWC is still family-run in its 3rd generation, and the wealth of know-how and expertise which is being passed on is evident in every business transaction we provide.

Company History

It all began in 1871, when a young, courageous pioneer by the name of Johan Jakob Frey established trade in Zurich, Switzerland. The thriving business remained in the Frey family until 1950 when Carl B. Weber acquired the company and changed the name to Carl Weber & Co. or short CWC. Today, CWC is still family-run in its 3rd generation, always ensuring that the wealth of know-how and expertise is passed down the line. Our long-standing family history, tradition, and values are evident in every business transaction we provide.
