WAS: About Us

60 years of success: a period during which we served as an engine of a growing economic structure and value creation in the Hamburg metropolitan region. Our philosophy of reacting to trends as well as setting our own has been rewarded through decades of work with a total of over 1,790 enterprises and 54,500 jobs.

Stormarn stands for the future of production, services, commerce, and handicraft. For entrepreneurs, investors, and business founders, our work has always meant numerous advantages and a high degree of stability. In the future, we intend to continue to support companies and communities to create more growth and sustainability. But WAS is more than just your partner for regional development: our goal is to give tomorrow’s ideas and concepts a future today in a place that is not only strong in and of itself but also makes these ideas and concepts stronger.

But what would an economic location be without the people who enrich it as well as work and live there on a daily basis? A location can only become strong through efforts in the workplace. That is why we consider an attractive infrastructure for individuals and families and a varied range of recreational activities particularly important – and Stormarn has it all.
