About

GEDORE has been producing hand and special tools in Remscheid and other places in Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Brazil for almost a century. From its beginnings as a blacksmith in 1919 to the present day, GEDORE represents uncompromising quality and proximity to its clients with great success.

History

The family-owned firm has been committed to the development of high-quality tools, special equipment, and customized solutions for safe and professional usage in industry and trade since its founding in 1919. GEDORE now has one of the largest product ranges of any European tool manufacturer, with more than 16.000 products, and is one of the world’s leading premium suppliers.

The three brothers, Karl, Otto and Willi Dowidat founded the company in Remscheid. GEDORE is the acronym of GEbrüder DOwidat REmscheid.

Expansion

To meet the rising demand, Otto Dowidat adopted a new plan and expanded abroad. GEDORE opened in Brazil, England, Austria, and South Africa new production facilities. The firm continued to develop new products, such as the DEROMETER aluminum torque spanner and the first electronic torque spanner in 1980.
