Festool Celebrates 100-Year Anniversary

Festool is celebrating its 100-year anniversary in 2025 with yet-to-be-announced limited-edition releases and exclusive versions of select products that have played an important role in the company’s history.

“Since 1925, we have revolutionized professional trade work with tools that are built better to help professionals build better,” Festool North America CEO Clint Chapman said in a statement. “Every new tool we design begins with a customer challenge and a commitment to innovate and build better solutions. This dedication is part of our company’s DNA, and we invite tradespeople to join us for the next one hundred years of growth and product evolution.”

Festool’s journey began in Germany in 1925 when Albert Fezer and Gottlieb Stoll founded a company to repair stationary wood processing machines. The duo later moved their operation from repairs to building tools, the company says.

The company was first Fezer & Stoll, and later Festo, before evolving into Festool.
