What we stand for

Gut wird man nicht durch Zufall

You don't become good at what you do by chance.

As a professional, you work hard and your expectations are high. There are always challenging situations on construction sites that have to be overcome. And to achieve the best results you need all your skills accompanied by tools that let you reach your full working potential.

Good tools – Good work

Taking precise measurements is one of the most important tasks on construction sites, which is why it is crucial that professionals have tools that they can rely on at all times. Tools that enable them to carry out a variety of measurement tasks on the construction site precisely, efficiently and easily – time after time. Tools that deliver reliable results in all weathers, even under the toughest conditions, so mistakes are avoided and there is no need for expensive, time-consuming reworking further down the line. Tools that make work easier and boost productivity. STABILA provides you with tools that meet your exacting standards.

As a result, we guarantee outstanding quality and a constant innovative edge.

Unser Weg zu innovativen Werkzeugen

But how did this all start?

Our company was founded in 1889, but we had already obtained our first patent three years previously 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 brainchild of Anton Ullrich – an inventor from the Palatinate region of Germany with an entrepreneurial spirit. In the space of just a few years, he had successfully established a major company in the small town of Annweiler. Ever since then, we here at STABILA have specialised in making measuring and aligning tools. We work tirelessly to support trade professionals with an unwavering commitment, focusing on providing innovative and application-specific solutions.


Because as we said at the start: you don't become good at what you do by chance.
