2023 is a very special year for us as we mark our centenary. We have been manufacturing pruners and cutters for professional applications for 100 years. We started making pruners for vineyards, fruit plantations and horticulture and soon expanded our range to include cutters for industry and trade.

My grandfather Walther Schröder developed the first Original LÖWE anvil pruner in 1923: the Original LÖWE 1. A drawing blade on a fixed anvil has been the Original LÖWE cutting principle ever since.

Our pruners were – and still are – vastly superior to the standard pruners of the age that were forged from two halves. Even back in the day, our Original LÖWE 1 cut far more easily, were pleasantly lightweight and were the first pruners to have replaceable wearing parts.

When necessary, the blade, anvil, spring and bearing could all be replaced, as they still can be today. Spare parts are always available even for Original LÖWE cutter and pruner models that are 100 years old.

In other words: we were pioneers of sustainability, even a century ago. Our mission is to create durable tools that are perfectly suited to their respective tasks across our entire range. We continuously optimise and improve all our products. We have developed another 100 pruner and cutter models to meet the needs of our customers over the last 100 years. 

But an all-rounder like our Original LÖWE 1 simply should not be missing from any toolbox. Original LÖWE cutters and pruners last a lifetime.

We hope you enjoy immersing yourself in the Original LÖWE world of cutting – every cut counts!
