The history of Festool
Since 1925: always a step ahead
The development of the name Festo is an example of the power of a vision and the success of a consistent corporate philosophy tailored to the needs of users.
Our top priority since the foundation of the company in 1925 by Gottlieb Stoll has been to offer tradesmen practical products and solutions to facilitate their daily work.
This claim has led to milestones of technology and has made Festo a market leader and synonymous with innovation, competence and good partnership.
