We produce garden and forestry tools with heart and soul. We are passionate about gardening and forestry, about nature and outdoor activities.

We are a fourth-generation family business and work together as a community.
Our story
In 1919, after returning from the First World War, young blacksmith Josef Schmitt helped his father Philipp Schmitt build a new forge.
In 1921, Josef received his master craftsman's certificate and opened the "Hammerwerk Gebrüder Schmitt" with his brother Otto. Production soon expanded to axes, hatchets and other tools.
In the 1930s, the "ADLER" brand was created. Today, Tobias Schmitt, Josef's great-grandson, leads the company in its fourth generation. Over more than 100 years, the small village forge has grown into an international specialist for forged forestry and garden tools.
