Stabila has been manufacturing tough, durable and accurate tools which are easy to use since 1889. They pride themselves as the world’s best and most innovative manufacturer of measuring tools. Their products are distinguished by permanent accuracy, optimal handling qualities and attractive design.

They obtained their first patent in 1886 for a spring-loaded joint designed for use in folding rules. This ingenious invention, which is still considered to be a state-of-the-art development even today, was the work of Anton Ullrich, the founder of Stabila. In the space of just a few years, he had successfully established a major company in the small town of Annweiler.
