The history of VAR GmbH

The know-how in environmental protection and environmental technology which has been acquired throughout more than 40 years of manufacturing and selling is reflected in our extensive range of products which we are manufacturing by ourselves at our german production plants in Marl (Ruhrgebiet), Bösensell (Münsterland) and Königshütte (Harz).

We exclusively sell our products to reselling organisations in the domestic and foreign markets, e.g. purchasing associations, the wholesale trade or the catalogue mail order trade.

In addition, the company Warex Valve in Senden (manufacture of shutting flaps and man locks for the chemical, bulk material, food and water industries) is our subsidiary.
