Remscheid – like the entire Bergisches Land region – is considered by many historians to be one of the first major industrial locations in Germany. Remscheid has made a name for itself as a “tool town” and the high quality of its tools still enjoys an excellent international reputation today. Our machine knives and industrial knives are also part of this tradition and go back to the saw factory that Ewald Winterhoff founded in Remscheid in 1865.
