Gewa are a large German musical instrument manufacturer and distributor. The company was founded in 1925 by George Gewa Walther in Adorf. In 1950 the headquarters was moved to Mittenwald but in 1990, it moved back to Adorf. I have seen Ukuleles distributed by, if not made by Gewa dating from the 1960's but I have no information of any of their old catalogues.

They currently have a very full range of instruments they distribute and some are made in their own factories, (they have factories in the Far East as well as Germany but it is not very clear what is made where). In addition to the main Gewa brand they own a number of other brands as well as distributing other peoples instruments and all of the main scale lengths, (except Mini), can be found somewhere within their catalogue, (though I have not seen Taropatches or Liliu's). Brand names I have seen them use on their Ukuleles at the beginning of the 2010's include:-

(Miguel J) Almeria - the Spanish Guitar range

Gewa - the Standard range

Pro Natura - the Professional range

Tennessee - the Premium range

Tenson - the Budget range
