Gedore Tools (SA) (Pty) Ltd

Meet the business

The GEDORE Group was founded in 1919 by three brothers who started the manufacture of hand tools at their family home in Remscheid, Germany. From this small homestead in Remscheid the company has grown into a multinational organisation which, in addition to South Africa, has manufacturing operations in Germany, Austria, United Kingdom and Brazil. The company remains family owned and is represented and sold on every continent in the world. The introduction of hot forged, German engineered hand tools into the South African market would prove to revolutionise the industry. In the early days of production all the forgings were imported from Germany and machined and plated locally. However, the introduction of the drop forging hammers enabled Gedore South Africa to increase production .
