FEIN continue to be innovative after 30 years of U.K. excellence


RECOGNISED around the world, FEIN was established 150 years ago and has since grown into a world leader providing outstanding power tools and accessories.


The family-owned business was founded by Wilhelm Emil Fein in 1876, specialising in manufacturing physical and electrical equipment. Based in Germany, FEIN grew until 1895, when Wilhelm’s son invented the fi rst electric hand drill.


The motor-powered drill cemented FEIN’s reputation as a pioneer in engineering.


Since then, the tool manufacturer have gone from local innovators to worldwide champions of engineering innovation. With over 50 offi ces around the world, including in the UK, USA, and France, FEIN off er solutions for metal, interior, automotive, and more industries.


The UK branch was fi rst set up over 30 years ago, with FEIN prouder than ever to serve the UK power tools market. Marketing Manager Dan Wood explained how the company have managed to achieve such success, and how they approach engineering.


Dan said: “Here at FEIN, we’ve always been about innovation, and are committed to providing the best, most powerful,


durable and outstanding tools possible.


“We strive to off er something unique, providing reliable, cost-eff ective solutions for the end user, which are also easy to use.”


FEIN can off er a tool for almost any industrial application, including everything from drills to fasteners, grinders, saws and cutters, sheet metal and surface processing solutions, and their highly regarded oscillating multi-tools.


One recent innovation was the Starlock mounting system for oscillating, launched in 2016. The Starlock mounting system is the result of a joint development between FEIN and Bosch, and is a world leading mounting system for all oscillators.


FEIN also produced the world’s most versatile cordless magnetic core drill; the newest addition to their range of 16 drills.


Dan added: “There’s plenty in the pipeline we’re excited about, including new cordless angle and die grinders, polishers, multi-tools, and mag drills. We’ve seen a great response from the FEIN community who traded in corded models for the new cordless versions of the SuperCut and MultiMaster.

Rudolph concluded: “It’s an exciting time for our community who can expect the same power they would fi nd in corded machines.


“FEIN UK will be working hard to approach more British end users and will continue to hire more local British workers, while improving investment in our facilities to ensure service is great for our customers.”
