What began as a small village blacksmith has now developed into the world's leading specialist for professional pliers..
New user needs require new tools. The extensive KNIPEX Cobra® family that has emerged over the last 36 years is available in many different sizes and special versions. The latest member is the KNIPEX Cobra® XS, measuring just 100 millimeters in size, particularly small but fully functional water pump pliers: ideal for any trouser pocket or as an on-board tool on a bicycle or motorbike.
KNIPEX has been involved in sustainability issues for many years and in a variety of ways . The award honors companies "that combine exemplary economic success with social responsibility and environmental protection and thus promote the idea of a sustainable society in a special way."
KNIPEX employs around 1,200 people at the Wuppertal site and around 1,900 in the group. Additional production and office space is built and extensive investments are made in additional machines and systems, including an automated hardening shop.
