German innovation and pioneering spirit
We are an owner-managed, medium-sized company that is managed by the fourth generation with a strong sense of tradition. We are based in Meitingen near Augsburg in Bavaria. Originally developed from a tinsmith and plumbing business, our products are the result of decades of practical experience.
As a pioneer in the manufacture of products for plumbers and fitters, we hold numerous patents for our innovations. Our product range includes measuring devices for precise leak testing of pipes in buildings as well as high-quality sheet metal bending and folding tools for roofs and façades.
Our customers appreciate the user-friendliness and “Made in Germany” quality of our products, making us an internationally active manufacturer.
We attach great importance to this
Innovations straight from the field
Our innovative strength stems directly from practical experience and is characterized by a holistic approach and user-friendliness. As a result, our products have become loyal and effective companions in everyday craftsmanship.
Quality
"Made in Germany"
By selecting high-quality materials and using advanced manufacturing technologies, we guarantee durability, precision and reliability. Every single product is manufactured in our factory in Meitingen and undergoes the most stringent quality controls.
Tradition
Since 1914, we have relied on values such as experience, expertise and trust. We have not only built up technical know-how and expertise, but also a close relationship with our customers. Now in our fourth generation as a family business, we continue to dedicate ourselves to producing first-class products for you.
Regionality
By acting regionally, we can purchase most of our materials within a radius of 100 km and thus produce our products locally in a crisis-proof manner. Personal contact is also important to us: our customers sometimes come by in person to bring their measuring device in for maintenance or to pick up a new tool.
