Hultafors Talmeter measuring tape

Hultafors is a renowned Swedish brand with a heritage dating back to 1883, when engineer Karl-Hilmer Johansson Kollén invented the folding rule. This invention was crucial in helping Sweden transition to the metric system. The brand is synonymous with precision hand tools, specifically tailored for professional craftsmen who require durability and accuracy.

Today, Hultafors operates as a core brand within the Hultafors Group. While its headquarters and primary manufacturing of classic products like folding rules remain in the village of Hultafors, Sweden, the company has expanded its manufacturing footprint. Many of its advanced measuring tapes and hand tools are produced across various European facilities to serve a global market. The brand is currently owned by Investment AB Latour, a large Swedish investment company that oversees a diverse portfolio of industrial and trade brands.
