WMF was originally called Metallwarenfabrik Straub & Schweizer. In 1880, Metallwarenfabrik Straub & Schweizer merged with another German company and took the name of Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik, then WMF acquired the Polish metalworks Plewkiewicz of Warsaw in 1886, which became a subsidiary of WMF around 1900. In 1900, WMF acquired Albert Köhler, a famous Austrian ironwork company. Then, in 1905, WMF acquired Orivit, a company known for its Jugendstil (German equivalent of Art Nouveau) pewter fabrications, followed a year later by the purchase of Kunstgewerbliche Metallwarenfabrik Orion, another German metal fabrication company. .
During World War I, the WMF was responsible for producing weapons for the German military and had certified to the Allied Control Commission that the tools used to produce these weapons had been destroyed. However, after Hitler's call for rearmament, the company, then under the control of Hugo Debach, immediately resumed producing weapons. Debach died shortly thereafter. From 1940, WMF began to make increasing use of forced labor from Soviet POWs in surrounding camps, with these eventually accounting for a third of the company's workforce. The WMF also founded its own concentration camp in 1944 to detain and force over 900 Hungarian Jewish women to work for it.
Around 1900, WMF was the world's largest producer and exporter of household metal products, primarily in Jugendstil. WMF then employed more than 3,500 people. The objects made were made of silver or pewter, often combined with glass, bottle green (in vogue in Germany in 1900) or colorless. The period in which Albert Mayer, sculptor and draftsman worked and who was the director of the Art Studio WMF from 1884 to 1914, is the most remarkable. The WMF owns six brands (WMF, Silit, Kaiser, Schaerer, Hepp and Curtis), is represented at more than 40 locations worldwide and has nearly 200 subsidiaries in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The factory also distinguished itself in the Art Deco style.
In 1955 WMF started the production of professional coffee machines. These products were designed for restaurants, military messes, cruise ships and other commercial applications.
