OVER 135 YEARS OF CLAMPING EXCELLENCE
BESSEY’s strength comes from a legacy of innovation and an unwavering commitment to quality. Founded in 1889 as a bright steel drawing shop, we’ve spent over a century refining precision steel and developing industry-leading clamping and cutting tools.
COMMITTED TO QUALITY AND INNOVATION
BESSEY invented the bar clamp, shaping it into the trusted tool that professionals and DIYers rely on today. What began as a steel drawing shop in 1889 expanded into tool production in the 1930s, launching a legacy of innovation that continues to this day. With hundreds of patents and industry-leading advancements, BESSEY continues to raise the bar in clamping and cutting tools, offering reliable solutions for makers, builders, and tradespeople alike.
For more than 135 years, our commitment to quality and innovation has been driven by our three divisions: Precision Steel, Tool Germany, and Tool North America. Working together, we create smart solutions that make tough jobs easier and help tradespeople get the results they want. True to our motto: "BESSEY. Simply better."
