Our brand. Our tools. Our passion.
The STAHLWILLE brand has stood for top-class tools for more than 160 years. From the establishment of the company by Eduard Wille to the here and now, our goal has always been the same: to produce tools that set the standard. For us, "Made in Germany" is both a requirement and an incentive: Innovation has always been a part of our corporate philosophy. We know our markets and customers, and develop solutions to meet new challenges. That is how we provide you with exactly what you need. From classic handheld tools to networked Industry 4.0 products.

Our proximity to customers.
