About Felo
Felo Werkzeugfabrik GmbH, based in Neustadt (Hesse), develops and manufactures fastening tools such as screwdrivers, bits and pliers. The company traces its origins to the Hammermühle, a factory for forged tools founded in 1878, and was re-founded in 1950 at its current location as Felo Werkzeugfabrik. Production takes place at the Neustadt site; in-house tool and mould making enables flexibility in design, manufacturing and quantities. In addition to more than 2,000 items available from stock, Felo produces an equal number of custom products, special tools and private-label items. Many machines in the production and metrology areas as well as in toolmaking are special proprietary designs. Felo is also the exclusive distribution partner of the Japanese utility knife brand OLFA and exports to over 40 countries.
