Company

Servus and welcome. As PWA ELECTRONIC AUSTRIA, we're your contact for rugged mobile industrial hardware in Austria — with a local sales team, German-language service, and the full depth of the PWA GROUP behind us.

Grown out of FF Company Vienna and today part of the group headquartered in Seligenstadt. For Austrian customers, that means short distances on the ground and the full portfolio of distribution, service and in-house developments.
