Wera Screwdriver

Wera: The Evolution of Tool Innovation

Wera is a globally recognized brand renowned for its ergonomic and high-performance handheld tools, particularly its screwdrivers which feature the iconic 'Kraftform' handle. Founded in 1936 by Hermann Werner in Wuppertal, Germany, the brand has built a reputation as the 'Tool Rebels' by unconventional thinking and rethinking tool design to solve user problems.

While the company's engineering and headquarters remain rooted in Germany, Wera operates a massive, state-of-the-art production facility in the Czech Republic where the majority of its screwdrivers and bits are manufactured. This strategic placement allows for high-quality production within the European Union while maintaining competitive global distribution.

In 2016, Wera was acquired by Bitburger Holding, a family-owned German investment group. Under this ownership, Wera has continued to expand its global footprint, maintaining its focus on innovation and design awards. The brand remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bitburger group, headquartered in Bitburg, Germany, ensuring that the brand preserves its German engineering heritage while leveraging long-term financial stability.
