We are your scissors and sharpening experts

About Us

Wolff Industries, Inc. first began as a family run business in 1982 and has grown to become the world’s largest manufacturer of industrial and professional scissors sharpeners. Specializing in developing cutting solutions, equipping the mobile and professional sharpener, and providing proper tools for industrial applications, Wolff Industries, Inc. continues to push the scissors and sharpening industry forward.

In 2012 Wolff Industries, Inc. purchased Vogel Brothers Corporation, a family run cutlery business, with a history dating back to 1690. This lead us to the creation of Wolff Indiana, LLC. We continue this long heritage of scissors manufacturing with our Wolff® Ergonomix® industrial shears, making us the last American made manufacturer of plastic handle, stamped scissors.
