Renowned for Quality.
What is now known as the GEDORE Tool Group first began in 1919 in the German city of Remscheid, as a hand tool manufacturing company run by brothers Otto, Karl and Willi Dowidat. (The name GEDORE is an abbreviation of GEbrüder DOwidat REmscheid.).
GEDORE products became renowned for quality and the company’s reputation spread well beyond Germany. From around 1960, GEDORE began to expand internationally through acquisitions in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Brazil, India, South Africa and elsewhere.
GEDORE UK was established in 1990, it was further strengthened in 1999 by the acquisition of MHH Engineering Co Ltd, manufacturer of Torqueleader torque tools.
Our UKAS Calibration Laboratory ensures absolute accuracy, while our sales, marketing and customer service teams ensure that customers are always at the heart of our business.
The GEDORE Tool Group now operates in over 70 countries and is one of the world’s largest hand tool manufacturers, responsible for many respected brands including Gedore, Ochsenkopf, Metec, Klann, Lösomat and Carolus.
