Down the road from Knipex, Wera Tools originated in Wuppertal, Germany, where the company was founded in 1936 with a clear mission: to rethink conventional tools and create smarter solutions for professional users. From its beginnings as a small German tool manufacturer, Wera has grown into a globally respected brand known for innovation, precision, and distinctive design.
Wera is best recognized for its problem-solving approach to fastening tools—introducing advanced handle ergonomics, proprietary blade profiles, and intelligent bit systems that improve efficiency, control, and user comfort. Rather than following traditional designs, Wera focuses on engineering tools that actively reduce fatigue and increase productivity in demanding applications.
Manufacturing is carried out primarily in Europe, with production centered in Germany and the Czech Republic, ensuring consistent quality control and adherence to strict engineering standards. This commitment to European manufacturing, combined with continuous innovation, has made Wera a trusted choice among professionals in automotive, industrial, and technical fields worldwide.
