Built for real challenges: Our power tools
The freedom to turn an idea into reality. To implement a project – without interruptions or downtimes. To achieve this in the shortest amount of time, with maximum efficiency and with minimum physical strain … there are thousands of challenges for a modern power tool. Our devices are designed to cope with these challenges and to meet the highest of demands, offering impressive performance, ergonomics and design. The focus in all three disciplines is not only on achieving an appealing appearance, but above all on the benefit to the user. This can be seen in the result and can be felt in your hands. For years, many of our devices have been receiving awards, including the iF Product Design Award – such as the FS guide rail, TSC 55 plunge-cut saw or, currently, our SYSROCK radio. It is something we are proud of.
1846 inhabitants, 20,000 cherry trees and a factory of the year
