From a one-man business to a respected manufacturer of cutting tools
The company was founded in 1902 as a producer of cutting tools in Langenthal (Switzerland), where we are still based today. In the beginning it was mainly professional cutting tools and surgical instruments that were produced and sharpened. Production of the first carving tools began in 1942. Within a short space of time, the high quality of the tools proved extremely popular, not only among professional carvers, but also among amateurs and schools in Switzerland and abroad.
Sustainable use of resources
We are making every effort to actively protect the environment. Vital resources like water, air and energy are used sparingly and as effectively as possible. Investments in facilities for water treatment and recycling of production waste optimise our manufacturing process. All the wood waste is used to generate heat. This concept enables our requirements in terms of quality, ecology and sustainability to be pursued consistently so that we can confirm the trust placed in us by our customers from all over the world.
