Kress Power Tools

Kress is a historic brand specializing in professional power tools, originally established in Germany. Founded in the early 20th century, it built a reputation for high-quality engineering and reliability in the European market, particularly among professional tradespeople.

In recent years, the brand underwent a significant transition when it was acquired by Positec Tool Corporation. This acquisition shifted the brand's manufacturing focus towards specialized facilities in China, where Positec maintains significant industrial infrastructure. Despite the shift in ownership and manufacturing, Kress continues to design products that cater to performance-to-price ratios for both professional and consumer users.

Today, Kress operates under the Positec umbrella alongside other major brands like Worx. While the corporate headquarters and ultimate ownership reside in Suzhou, China, the brand maintains its design legacy and professional positioning across global markets, focusing on battery-powered technology and robotic lawn mowers.
