SOLA Spirit Level

SOLA is a prominent global manufacturer of high-precision measuring tools, particularly renowned for its development of spirit levels, rules, and tapes. Founded in 1949, the brand established itself through innovation, most notably with the invention of the lightweight aluminum spirit level in the 1950s. The brand is synonymous with the 'SOLA FOCUS' vial, which offers enhanced contrast and readability compared to standard vials.

The brand's production is largely centered in Götzis, Austria, where many of its signature precision instruments are manufactured. While the primary manufacturing base remains in Austria to ensure strict quality control, the company has expanded its manufacturing footprint to other regions, including Hungary and the USA (following the acquisition of Keson), to better serve international markets. Ownership remains within the founding family through the SOLA Group, maintaining its status as a specialized independent leader in the professional tool industry.
