Werkzeug Eylert

What Werkzeug Eylert does

Werkzeug Eylert is a privately-held German distributor of professional tools and machines, founded in 1937 and operating from Chemnitz, Germany with 1-10 employees. The company runs a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at eylert.de serving DACH markets via a bilingual German/English interface, with both VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive pricing, customer account registration, order history, and subscription management. Its catalog spans more than 100,000 SKUs across machining/cutting tools, clamping and tool holding systems, precision measurement, hand tools, power tools, compressed air, welding, 3D printing, workshop supplies, and workshop furniture.

The product mix combines third-party and partner brands (GEN3SYS drilling systems, 4K5 precision spirit levels, Widia WMT turning tools, Solidfix tool holders) with a portfolio of proprietary own-brand lines including Eyltool (premium and standard screwdrivers), MULTIBORE and VarioBore® modular boring systems covering diameters 0.4-205 mm, EYLMICRO micro boring/turning, EYLMINI mini boring, Eylstech grooving/cut-off, EYL-TAPMAXX lubricant dispenser, EYL-Click quick-change marking, and EYL workshop bench/cabinet systems. The modular families share standard holder formats (SK, HSK, MK, VDI), enabling system-level compatibility across the in-house lines.

Revenue is generated through transactional e-commerce sales of catalog products, with unit pricing and account-based ordering; the company does not disclose pricing tiers, subscription pricing, or volume discounts. Customers are segmented horizontally into industrial manufacturing (primary), trade professionals, and workshop operations. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships and alliances entries, regulatory actions, or leadership changes in the input data, and the company operates as a single privately-held entity without subsidiaries or a parent company.

Direct peers

• Toolcraft: German specialist retailer of precision tools and CNC machining accessories, with a strong e-commerce presence. Overlaps with Eylert in modular boring, drilling, and clamping systems targeted at professional machining customers.
• Hoffmann Group: Germany's largest direct-to-customer distributor of quality tools, operating the Garant and Holex own-brand portfolios alongside third-party brands. Closely comparable to Eylert in catalog breadth, own-brand strategy, and German industrial customer base, but at substantially larger scale.
• Gühring: German manufacturer and distributor of precision rotary cutting tools (drills, taps, end mills) with a strong industrial customer base in DACH. Comparable to Eylert in the precision tooling category, though Gühring is more manufacturing-led.
• Würth: Global leader in trade and industrial fastening and tool distribution with deep roots in Germany. Comparable to Eylert in combining third-party catalogs with proprietary Würth own-brand products and serving both trade professionals and industrial B2B customers.
• Contorlion: German online industrial tools and supplies retailer serving professional and trade customers. Direct e-commerce competitor to Eylert with overlapping product categories in cutting tools, clamping, and measuring technology.
• Karnasch Professional Tools: German-based manufacturer and distributor of precision cutting tools (drilling, milling, reaming) serving industrial machining customers. Highly comparable to Eylert's own-brand precision machining lines (MULTIBORE, VarioBore, EYLMICRO).

Emerging players

• Walter Tools: Germany-based precision cutting tool manufacturer (turning, milling, drilling) with global reach. Comparable to Eylert's modular turning/grooving lines (Eylstech, EYLMICRO) and shares the DACH industrial customer base.
• Sandvik Coromant: Global leader in metal cutting tools and tooling solutions. Overlaps with Eylert's premium cutting tool offerings (drilling, turning, modular systems) and serves the same industrial machining customer segment.

Broad incumbents

• MSC Industrial: Large US-based industrial MRO distributor with 2M+ SKUs serving metalworking and industrial customers. Comparable to Eylert in catalog breadth and customer base, but operates at much greater scale and geographic reach.
• Grainger: Global industrial MRO distributor with broad tools, hand tools, and supplies offering. Overlaps with Eylert in professional hand tools, power tools, and workshop supplies, though Grainger's portfolio extends well beyond Eylert's machining focus.
