Today, Unior is a globally recognised brand in professional hand tools and workshop equipment. But did you know that the name Unior originates from the Slovenian expression “Univerzalno Orodje”? Freely translated, this means “universal tools”.
This name perfectly reflects what the brand has stood for for more than a century: versatility, quality, craftsmanship and precision.
From Slovenian forging tradition to an international quality brand
The history of Unior is rooted in the rich forging tradition of Zreče, Slovenia. What once began as local craftsmanship has grown into an international industrial brand with a compelling reputation for professional tools..
When Unior expanded further into international markets in the 1970s, there was a need for a short, powerful and recognisable name that could be used easily in different languages. By combining parts of the original Slovenian expression “Univerzalno Orodje”, the brand name Unior was created.
Today, that name still stands for reliable tools, lasting quality and technical expertise.
More than 100 years of experience in tools
In 2019, Unior celebrated its 100th anniversary. This milestone was the perfect opportunity to reflect on the impressive evolution of the brand.
With more than 100 years of experience, Unior has developed a strong range for professional users in a wide variety of sectors. These include the metalworking industry, the automotive sector, technical workshops, maintenance departments, bicycle repairers, technical schools and industrial applications. Today, Unior offers an extensive range of more than 4,000 products.
This broad range makes Unior a complete partner for technicians who rely on dependable and durable tools every day.
Unior: strong value for money
Within the professional tools market, Unior stands out thanks to its unique combination of hand tools, workshop equipment and specialised solutions. The brand offers excellent value for money without compromising on reliability or user comfort.
