The pliers specialists
In over 140 years, we have accumulated extensive knowledge for innovating and manufacturing pliers. That is why we have become the world's leading manufacturing of professional pliers. Only as specialists can we offer our customers top performance and survive in global competition.
But what we know today is not enough for the future. We are continuously looking for ways to improve everything we do throughout the company - from our products, processes, organization, and our skills.
Quality matters
In order for a pair of pliers to work at its best, it must be precise: without accuracy, there is no reliable cutting, gripping or shaping, and no operation without play. Our modern manufacturing technology allows us to comply with our strict quality requirements and specifications.
We achieve these specifications through strict measurements and a wide range of tests – after each individual production step and at the end of the entire process. We use state-of-the-art measuring technology and long-term testing systems, as well as practical routine testing by hand.
To ensure that our pliers meet your expectations and our high standards, we only use selected steel alloys that have been rolled according to our specifications.
Innovations from the "think tank"
Continual innovation – that is the guiding principle, the implementation of which we devote all our competence and creativity to. We develop new pliers and optimize existing models to make work more effective and easier.
Our motivation is to come up with unconventional solutions that set the standards: new ways of force transmission, easier and faster usability, combination of various functions in one tool and imaginative problem solving for special applications. This saves energy and time and you can achieve better work results with less effort.
We have over 400 production machines refined over generations of use. We build many of the machines ourselves and purchased ones are modified by us to meet our special requirements. In many cases we also program the software for the control and operation of the machines ourselves.
Made in Wuppertal, Germany
We manufacture exclusively in Germany, at the founding location in Wuppertal.
With a vertical range of manufacture of almost 100%, we can control all production steps and directly influence and continuously improve them to the best possible quality.
From the product idea to the delivery of the finished pliers to our customers: we do everything under one roof. Short distances and direct dialogue enable close coordination of all processes and the exchange of all employees involved.
Our employees
The most important basis for our success are our employees. Their knowledge and skills, their commitment and their ideas determine our performance and thus our future.
We create good conditions for our employees to perform and develop opportunities. We place great value on maintaining and promoting their health.
It is also important to us that family and work are well-balanced.
We invest a great deal of effort and care into training, in which we impart a broad spectrum of professional and personal competence to young people, but also to professionals.
Values and responsibility
Success is important to us, but we are not looking for it at any cost.
We are guided by values and align our actions sustainably. This is how we assume our shared responsibility for society and the natural environment.
We feel closely connected to our region and its people and want to actively contribute to the well-being of our environment. That is why we are extensively involved in the areas of education, culture and social issues.
