Introducing Andersen Stainless Steel Winches®

Wichard Groupe member since 2023

Based in Vejle, Denmark since 1953, Andersen Stainless Steel Winches® are made with the care and craftsmanship that come from more than 70 years of experience. Andersen winches are built to last, to retain their exceptional finish, and to deliver season after season of reliable performance and sailing pleasure through the years.

Andersen winch drums, which are produced from Grade 316L stainless steel and are cold formed in stages during manufacture, incorporate the distinctive Power Rib™ which always ensures a controlled grip on the line, whether trimming or easing. The highly polished stainless steel surface minimizes vertical friction and allows the loaded rope turns to slide easily upward as the drum rotates, without the shuddering and excessive rope wear seen on winches that rely on a rough surface finish for grip.

We believe in setting standards, as this is the only way we can ensure a lifetime of safe sailing for our customers and a future at sea for our products. To achieve this, we employ state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, and our staff is dedicated to continuous development. We remain at the cutting edge of winch development by working closely with yachtsmen and sailing professionals to create unique, practical, and reliable features.
