Brief Description:

    In 1945, a young visionary named Félix Flisch embarked on a journey to revolutionize the world of pruning tools. With ambition and resourcefulness, he acquired a disused watch dial factory in Les Geneveys-sur-Coffrane, a serene village in the heart of Switzerland's watch valley, with a clear vision: to craft unparalleled pruning shears. This marked the inception of FELCO, a venture that would forever alter the landscape of horticultural tools.

    In 1948, the FELCO 2 was launched, captivating millions worldwide with its revolutionary design. This iconic pruning shear quickly became the standard, embodying quality, precision, and durability. With more than 19 million units sold to date, the FELCO 2 remains a cherished companion of professionals and enthusiasts alike. Throughout the 1950s, FELCO continued to innovate, introducing a range of cable cutters featuring a unique triangular cut. By the 1960s, ergonomic improvements were made, including the introduction of rotating handles to ease the cutting action for users.

    By the 1980s and 1990s, FELCO had established a robust global presence with several distribution subsidiaries around the world, bringing its tools to professionals across the globe. The company's commitment to quality and innovation earned it recognition and numerous awards, with the iconic FELCO 2 notably receiving the Swiss Grand Prix of Design in 2018. Sustainability has also always been at the heart of FELCO’s operations. The factory installed a solar power plant on its roof in 2015, which supplies a significant portion of its electricity needs. FELCO tools are made of 50% recycled materials, and the company prioritizes reparability and replaceable components to ensure longevity and minimize waste.

    In 2019, FELCO embraced the future with the introduction of smart devices and digitized services. The FELCO Power Blade Series® electric pruning shears, equipped with advanced connectivity features, showcased FELCO’s commitment to integrating modern technology with its traditional craftsmanship. Today, after 80 years of cultivating its expertise, FELCO is synonymous with quality and durability among pruning professionals worldwide. The company’s enduring success is a testament to the vision of its founder, Félix Flisch, whose principles of precision, innovation, and excellence continue to guide the brand. As FELCO looks to the future, it remains committed to building on this legacy, creating tools that inspire and perform beyond expectations.
