Wera Screwdriving Tools

Wera Werkzeuge GmbH, widely known as Wera, is a leading German manufacturer of high-quality hand tools, particularly famous for its screwdrivers, ratchets, and torque tools. The company was founded in 1936 in Wuppertal, Germany, by Hermann Werner and has since built a global reputation for innovation, often identifying itself through the 'Tool Rebels' marketing campaign.

While the company's research, development, and high-end design administration remain headquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, the majority of industrial manufacturing occurs in the Czech Republic, where they operate significant modern production facilities. Some specific components or lower-tier professional lines may also be sourced through global supply chains including China.

Since 2016, Wera has been part of the Bitburger Holding, a diversified German investment group owned by the Simon family. This acquisition ensured that Wera remains under German ownership while providing the capital for global expansion and technical innovation in the professional tool market.
