RENNSTEIG grows its German
toolmaking business

ennsteig Werkzeuge has been creating tools for
tradesmen for nearly 60 years. Helping users
work more effectively and safer, the company's
familiar lime green grips stand out in toolboxes and on
benches around the world. To meet
growing demand, the toolmaker
is increasing its production
capabilities, recently completing its
yearlong expansion and acquiring
other tool manufacturers.
"We're seeing rapid technological
advances and a growing demand
for tools that need to be precise, fast
and more economical," said HansPeter Kuehn, head of technical sales for the
company. "We are experts in our field, and it is
our job to develop new tools and satisfy the market
requirements and customer demands."
Located in the heart of Germany in the small town of
Altersbach, RENNSTEIG started in 1959 with just 29
employees, producing mainly striking tools, scrapers,
mounting bars, welding hammers, nails and rotating
sprockets. In 1991, the company became an independent
subsidiary of KNIPEX C. Gustav Putsch KG, a fourthgeneration family owned business that manufactures some
800 different versions of pliers for trade and industry.

Throughout the years, RENNSTEIG has expanded
its line of tools, helping users cut, bend, crimp, strip,
chisel, punch and pry. To reach and better serve the U.S.
and Canadian markets, the company opened the U.S.
subsidiary Rennsteig Tools Inc. in Rutherford, New
Jersey, in 2006.
Today, RENNSTEIG employs 270 personnel,
including Rennsteig Tools Inc., and holds more
than 50 international patents. It develops and
produces more than 10,000 semifinished and
finished tools every year from two
manufacturing locations -
a 97,000-square-foot
facility in Viernau and
a 75,000-square-foot
facility in Altersbach.
Focusing on
growth and expanding
its product lines, RENNSTEIG acquired electronic
pliers manufacturing company WIMA in Mittelstille
last year, and recently assumed the production of
insertion and removal tools for Wilhelm Mütter Tools
in Solingen. In April 2015, RENNSTEIG opened its
new building at its headquarters in Viernau, adding
more offices, meeting rooms and 50 percent more
manufacturing space.
