Wahl grooming products

Wahl is a historic American brand that revolutionized the grooming industry with the invention of the first practical electric hair clipper in 1919. Founded by Leo J. Wahl in Sterling, Illinois, the company has grown from a local invention into a global powerhouse in both professional and consumer personal care segments.

Today, Wahl Clipper Corporation remains a privately held, family-owned business, with fourth-generation family members actively involved in its operations as of 2026. While its global headquarters and a primary manufacturing facility are still located in Sterling, Illinois, the company has significantly expanded its footprint. To serve its international markets across approximately 165 countries, Wahl operates six global manufacturing facilities and several sales offices worldwide. Manufacturing occurs in multiple locations including the United States, Germany (through its subsidiary Moser), England, China, Hungary, and Vietnam. This diversified production network allows the brand to maintain its position as a global leader in clippers, trimmers, and massagers while ensuring efficient distribution and high-quality standards across different regions.
