Wiha - tools for professional use in industry and trade

Wiha is a German manufacturer of hand tools whose products are regularly used in many industrial sectors and trades. The company was founded over 80 years ago and is still owner-managed today. The head office is located in Schonach in the Black Forest. Wiha develops tools that are designed for professional use, including for applications in electronics production, mechanical engineering, building technology and electrical assembly.

The product range includes screwdrivers, pliers, pin spanners, torque tools, VDE-certified tools and complete tool cases. The focus on professional users is reflected in the design of the products: many Wiha tools are designed to enable ergonomic working and reduce strain during repetitive tasks. In recognition of these endeavours, the company has received certification from Aktion Gesunder Rücken (AGR) for several tools.

One example is the screwdriver handle size concept, which provides for different handle diameters depending on the application - for precise work or for applications requiring more force, for example. Pliers such as the TriCut combine several functions - such as stripping, stripping and crimping - in one tool, eliminating the need to change tools in the work process. The range also includes electrically assisted tools such as the e-screwdriver, which automates the screwdriving process and thus relieves the strain on arms and wrists.

Wiha also offers functional details in the area of transport solutions: tool cases, for example, are equipped with large wheels to facilitate transport and have fold-out legs that allow them to be used as mobile workstations.

In addition to the product portfolio, the focus is also on the company's organisation. Wiha is certified according to several international standards, including ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), ISO 50001 (energy management) and OHSAS 18001 (occupational health and safety). Wiha has also signed up to the Code of Conduct of the German Association of Materials Management, Purchasing and Logistics (BME). The principles formulated therein concern, among other things, lawful behaviour, human rights, working conditions and environmental responsibility along the supply chain.

The topic of sustainability is also systematically pursued. Wiha sees the careful use of resources as a corporate responsibility and strives to reduce its ecological footprint throughout the entire product life cycle. Among other things, this involves product durability, energy-efficient production and the optimisation of logistical processes.

Wiha supplies worldwide, but remains a medium-sized company with a clear focus on manufacturing quality, application-orientation and long-term customer relationships. For industrial customers and workshop suppliers in electronics manufacturing, Wiha is a supplier with a broad product range and a clear focus on ergonomic aspects in everyday working life.
