Our History.

Bänninger Global Tooling encompasses a strong foundation with a history going back over one hundred years. Bänninger Global Tooling began its journey as a former toolmaker for foundry tools and pattern making. It later moved into forming, clamping and cutting tools for Bänninger; the world-renowned fitting manufacturer from Germany. This strong knowledge base has been continuously expanded in order to produce complex components at the highest level for customers from all sectors of industry. We plan, design and manufacture in our plant in Hesse, Germany.

Today, worldwide, the company is highly regarded in the manufacturing industry – and is a well-respected supplier for complex and demanding components that require major production experience and accurate precision.
