About K.-R. Witte Solingen
K.-R. Witte GmbH & Co. KG has been producing scissors in Solingen for more than 35 years and carries the Made in Solingen quality seal. The product range covers professional hairdressing and thinning scissors through to pet grooming scissors for dog care, as well as sewing, embroidery swing scissors and razors under the brands Witte, Peiniger, Fritz Koeller, Daniel Peres and Dirlams Fischerwerk. Production combines traditional craftsmanship with modern machining technologies: scissor blades are hand-polished, cutting edges are eroded on one or both sides and micro-serrated, and components are gold-plated or nickel-plated. The materials used include stainless steel, stainless special alloys and bearing steel to US standard 440C; handles are partly made of glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide. More than 30 trained specialists work at the headquarters on Beethovenstraße. Sales are handled by Kretzer Scheren GmbH in Solingen. The offering is complemented by a regrinding, repair and complaint service with a two-year warranty on material-related defects.
