Fisco Tools

Leo Fisher founded Fisco in a small cellar in London in 1940, producing radio valve pins for the Ministry of Supply. After the war, the company started making drawing pins and upholstery nails and in 1946 the first tape measures were introduced to our range.

Larger premises were required by 1958 and the factory moved to its present site in South East England, covering 60,000 square feet. From there onwards, its range of tape measures continued to grow with the introduction of long tapes in the early 1970’s. For the last 50 years, Fisco has continued to develop and perfect its range of tape measures, exporting to over 30 countries throughout the world.

In 2008 Fisco was acquired by Hultafors Group, a Swedish company. Hultafors is known for its high quality hand tools, which have been used by Scandinavian and European craftsmen since the late 19th century.
