About b+z Werkzeuge
b+z Werkzeuge GmbH was founded in 2006 in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf and is an industrial partner for professional users from industry, assembly, trades and specialized retail. The company develops, produces and distributes hand tools, assembly tools, torque tools, metrology equipment, power tools as well as workshop equipment and workplace supplies. A focus lies on special tools made to customer specification: in the in-house workshop, special tools are manufactured to drawing from carbide and PCD, for example bits with special profiles, 10-point sockets or special-head bits; for cleanroom applications, tools made of stainless steel and titanium are offered. In addition, b+z offers a special sourcing service, a regrinding service and a calibration service: with a Stahlwille calibration station, torque wrenches from 0,2 Nm to 400 Nm can be calibrated in-house; ISO and DKD calibrations are carried out in cooperation with testing laboratories. Through the 5-to-1 principle and C-parts management, b+z consolidates its customers' supplier base. Reference customers include Dürr Systems, Trumpf, Stihl, Recaro Automotiv, Pilz, Fanuc and EnBW Kernkraft. Since 2016 all departments have been located at one site on Holderäckerstraße in Stuttgart; the workshop and special tool warehouse cover more than 800 m².
