Wika China website according to the copyright notice on wika-wika.cn. The catch is that this is not Wika's Chinese website. Counterfeiting a product is brazen - stealing the entire identity of a renowned manufacturer, including photos, texts and history, is unscrupulous. It involves a lot of criminal energy: Trademark and copyright infringements, the deliberate deception of website users - and Wika's good reputation is shamelessly exploited for their own purposes. In addition to misleading advertising with third-party brands and the sale of counterfeits via e-commerce platforms, identity theft is also on the rise. Pressure gauges are safety-relevant products - precision and reliability are crucial. This makes the mostly dangerously inferior quality of counterfeits all the more alarming. Wika protects its intellectual property worldwide and takes decisive action against counterfeiters.
