KNIPEX. SPECIALIST FOR PLIERS WITH HIGH PRODUCTION DEPTH.
KNIPEX is the market leader in the field of pliers for professional users. And we owe this primarily to our approx. 1800 employees!
We are an economically independent family business in the fourth generation of family ownership and management, which remains at its founding location in Wuppertal-Cronenberg.
Since 1882 we have focused on the development and manufacture of high-quality pliers and related tools.
Today, we set standards in terms of quality and innovation for our customers in over 100 countries worldwide.
At KNIPEX, we feel connected to our environment and our people. From this realisation, we derive our commitment to resource-saving production methods, an ethically-shaped corporate culture and the promotion of the common good in our region.
KNIPEX. We take responsibility.
Every pair of pliers goes through many company departments from the idea to the packaging on its journey to becoming a quality tool.
At KNIPEX, we work in over 30 different departments to remain the world market leader.

Our occupational health management
Our aim is to boost the health and well-being of our employees in the long run. A healthy work environment and preventive measures are just as important to us as economic success. With targeted, personalised health programmes, ergonomic workplaces, and regular health checks, we actively contribute to the health of our workforce. We feel a strong sense of responsibility towards our employees and through comprehensive health management, we wish to make a positive contribution to their quality of life.
