Wiha Hand Tools

Wiha Werkzeuge GmbH is a leading German manufacturer of professional hand tools, particularly renowned for its screwdrivers, torque tools, insulated VDE tools, pliers, and measuring instruments. Founded in 1939 by Willi Hahn in Wuppertal, Germany, the company name 'Wiha' is derived from the founder's initials ('Wi'lli 'Ha'hn). In 1943, operations relocated to Schonach in the Black Forest, which remains the company's global headquarters today.

Throughout its history, Wiha has maintained a reputation for ergonomic design, safety, and German engineering standards. The business has remained family-owned across generations and operates under the holding structure of the Hahn family (Willi Hahn Corp. / Wiha Werkzeuge GmbH).

Manufacturing takes place predominantly at production facilities in Germany (notably in Schonach and Mönchweiler), alongside specialized manufacturing plants in Switzerland, Poland, Vietnam, and other international subsidiaries to serve global markets.
