FELCO History
In 1945, a young visionary engineer, Félix Flisch set out to revolutionize the world of pruning tools. Armed with ambition and resourcefulness, he acquired an old watch dial factory in Les Geneveys-sur-Coffrane, a serene village in the heart of Switzerland's watch valley. His vision: to craft unparalleled pruning shears. This marked the inception of FELCO, a venture that would forever alter the landscape of horticultural tools.
