Innovation
Innovation has been the foundation of Festool since its inception. In 1929, the company introduced the first portable chain saw, which brought the mill to the forest and transformed the logging industry.
We may have changed our name a few times over the years, but that unyielding commitment to quality, precision and exceptional customer service have remained the same.
Festool designs tools that change the way people work. Saving you time, improving quality and enhancing safety.
