WE CELEBRATE 135 YEARS OF BESSEY

Today, we are proud to mark another milestone in our company history: 135 years characterized by a steadfast commitment to the highest quality and innovative strength. The enduring commitment to the highest quality and innovative strength is evident today in the products and services offered by our two divisions: Precision Steel and Tool.

BESSEY is the inventor of the screw clamp, as the world knows it today.

This is proven by the hundreds of patents and even more product innovations. Through our high-quality clamping and cutting tools, BESSEY inspires the way people work. As a united team, we develop solutions that simplify everyday life for tradespeople and result in optimal work outcomes. True to the motto: "BESSEY. Simply better."
