The Stubai Valley has been a good ground for the metal processing for centuries. Since 1960, the cooperative network guarantees to forging under the name „Stubai tool industry“ for quality.
Mother of companies operating under the brand Stubai is the Stubai tool industry reg.Gen.m.b.H.
14 companies belong to this association. Each of these companies is a specialist in a specific product category. The cooperative, as a strong roof, maintains the brand name, is responsible for marketing, sales and logistics. From the Stubai tool industry two subsidiaries emerged:
STUBAI ZMV GmbH – Agency for Marketing and Sales & Stubai KSHB GmbH – Production
Environmental awareness is a major concern of our traditional cooperative. Not without reason, the Stubai tool industry reg.Gen.mbH is proud to carry the national coat of arms. Responsibly we bear this seal on many export markets and thus do not only represent our company but also our home. Today, Stubai as a brand is present in over 60 countries.
There were already forging cites existing in Fulpmes, which produced tools for the blooming iron mining city. The oldest documented forge had the inscription: Built in 1413 by miners.
Around 1420, Duchess Anna gave Master Stephan, the blacksmith from Stubai, a seal that represented a hatchet and a hammer crossed in a plate, to indicate the master’s products.
Stubai’s iron industry produced agricultural appliances and knives with the help of 45 blacksmiths. Sales went far beyond the countries borders by backpack carriers.
