As early as 1785 WITTE started the production of needles for the textile, saddlery and shoemakers sectors. It was not long before he supplied his products to customers around the world. If 10 million needles were produced a year at the beginning of the 19th century, by the middle of the century this expanding family business was among the leading companies in its sector with a workforce of 1,200 employees and a production of 2 million needles per year. day.
When, due to automation, machines increasingly replaced tailors, saddlers and shoemakers, WITTE had long since established its reputation as a manufacturer of tools for the car and wagon industry. At that time the company developed the product that forms the foundation of the brand to this day: the screwdriver. Since then, WITTE has perfected it like no other manufacturer - thanks to constant innovation, the highest demands in terms of ergonomics and materials and, of course, the highest quality “Made in Germany”.
German engineering and German quality products have always enjoyed great prestige all over the world. Long before the term “Made in Germany” was coined, WITTE already stood for values such as German innovation, precision and reliability. Today we remain as committed to these virtues as we are to Germany itself as a location. Both are for us an integral part of our identity and philosophy of quality.
