Hultafors traces its story to 1883, when Swedish engineer Karl-Hilmer Johansson Kollén developed a rule showing old and metric measurements to support Sweden’s transition to the metric system. Making the rule fold solved the practical problem of carrying a long measuring instrument.

The first manufacturing business was established in Stockholm and later moved through Gothenburg before production transferred to the village of Hultafors in 1907. The location ultimately gave the brand its name and remains closely associated with its folding-rule manufacture.

Today Hultafors supplies professional hand tools for measuring, marking, cutting, striking and levelling, together with pry and wrecking bars. The company describes product development as a cooperative process involving professional users, with functionality, precision and dependable everyday use as priorities.
