Reinhard and Max Mannesmann revolutionized the industry by developing the first rolling processes for the production of seamless pipes - a breakthrough that laid the foundation for the worldwide Mannesmann dynasty. But their innovative power did not end there: with an unbridled pioneering spirit, they plunged into further adventures and, among other things, made a significant contribution to the development of gas lamps, which soon illuminated the streets and bathed cities in a new light.
From Remscheid to the world
The Mannesmann brothers began their success story in 1885 with the invention of a groundbreaking process for producing seamless steel pipes. This innovation made the Remscheid-based company known worldwide and enabled expansion into various related industries.
In 1931, the company expanded its portfolio to include the production of high-quality tools. Today, Brüder Mannesmann Werkzeuge, with its headquarters in Remscheid, is a leading supplier whose products are valued worldwide. Whether you are a professional or a DIY enthusiast, Brüder Mannesmann tools stand for quality and reliability.
Our history in the tool industry is one that we are proud to continue. Because this story is far from over. Innovative and sustainable technologies will continue to revolutionize the industry, and we are determined to play an active role in shaping these developments. With passion, innovative strength, expertise and a strong sense of partnership, we rely on values that are deeply rooted in our company.
