Condor Tool & Knife
The story of how Condor Tool & Knife came to be is long, covering the globe from Germany to El Salvador, then eventually opening up the entire Northern American and European markets. Their story starts hundreds of years ago before it circles the world.
Condor Tool & Knife, founded in 1787 was originally named the GEBR WEYESBERG COMPANY in Solingen, Germany. They produced military knives, swords, household cutlery, and agricultural tools of such elevated quality that Solingen was thought of as the Cutlery Capital of the World. As time passed, though, they found they had to expand operations to serve their global customer base. As they became the world's largest manufacturer of swords and knives, they would need to move their headquarters.
Going Global with Imcasa
In 1964, the GEBR WEYESBERG COMPANY formed Imcasa. They then started a new plant in Santa Ana, El Salvador, complete with state-of-the-art German equipment. Highly skilled employees local to the original plant in Solingen relocated to give extensive training at the new factory. Today, the factory is turning out the finest quality machetes, knives, axes, shovels, and other hand tools. Imcasa’s Central American operations were sold in the 1980s to local investors.
Today, Imcasa is one of the largest machete and shovel manufacturers in the world operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to fill an increasing worldwide demand for its products. But the story doesn’t stop there.
