2023 is a very special year for us; we are turning 100 years young! For 100 years, we have been manufacturing pruners and cutters for professional use. Initially for viticulture, fruit growing, and horticulture, and a few years later also for applications in industry and trade.

In 1923, my grandfather Walther Schröder developed the first Original LÖWE anvil pruner: the Original LÖWE 1. Since then, a draw-cut blade working against a fixed anvil has defined the Original LÖWE cutting principle.

Our pruners were significantly superior to the conventional two-piece forged shears available at the time, a superiority they maintain to this day. This is because our Original LÖWE 1 already offered a considerably lighter cut, possessed a reduced weight, and was pioneering as the first pruner with replaceable wear parts.

The blade, anvil, spring, and pivot were replaceable as needed, both historically and currently. Even for a 100-year-old Original LÖWE pruner, these spare parts remain available.

This made us pioneers in sustainability 100 years ago. We place great emphasis on the optimal usability and durability of all models. All products are subject to continuous optimization and improvement. Over the past 100 years, we have developed another one hundred models tailored to our customers' needs. 

An all-rounder like our Original LÖWE 1 is simply indispensable in any toolbox. Original LÖWE pruners are cutting tools built to last a lifetime.

We hope you enjoy delving into the Original LÖWE world of cutting – because every cut counts!
