Wiha Tools

The region in the Bergisches Land between Remscheid, Solingen and Wuppertal was the early center of the tool industry, as metal ores were mined there and many forges were located along the rivers.

While initially only nuts and bolts were manufactured, eight years later in 1947 the production of screwdrivers commenced.

In 1985 a subsidiary was founded in the United States (today's Willi Hahn Corp.) Over the years further branches were established in France, Spain, England, Denmark, Poland, China and Vietnam.

Main German competitors are the manufacturer Wera Tools, Gedore, Knipex and Hazet.
