About us.
Our philosophy is very simple. We concentrate on what we can do best:
The high quality manufacturing of pliers for a great variety of different applications.
Our company is based in Germany in a traditional location for tool manufacturing: Schmalkalden in the Thuringian forest. Much sought-after tools have been produced here for over 700 years thanks to the prevalence of red and brown hermatite (iron ore). We carry on this long tradition with our high quality pliers.
