About us
Craftsmanship and dedication
At CIMCO, we value craftsmanship - and have done so for almost 200 years and in the sixth generation of the family. When the small blacksmith Johann Christian Müller opened a pliers forge here in Remscheid in 1827, he had no idea what a long and successful tradition he would establish. Today, we supply electronics engineers throughout Germany and other European countries with tools that meet the highest standards. And even though they are no longer made by hand, but in largely automated production processes, we have not forgotten that precision craftsmanship is our top priority. We subject every tool that leaves our factory to rigorous testing. In addition to the German Equipment Safety Act (GS) and current DIN standards, CIMCO tools are also subject to strict in-house testing in a water bath at 10,000 V AC and are suitable for use at 1,000 V AC.
Tools are needed wherever current needs to flow
As an electronics technician, you are part of a constantly growing industry. There are around 6,500 electrical installation companies in Germany today, and the trend is rising, not least thanks to digitalisation. Power lines are the lifelines of our economic activity, our work and our entire infrastructure. We know that you, who work for us under high voltage in the truest sense of the word, deserve our full support. Because you give your all in your job every day. You deserve optimised products that are constantly adapted to new challenges and allow you to work comfortably and ergonomically. You deserve outstanding service and absolute safety when working with our tools. We want you to be able to rely on our tools for your entire working life.
Not just move with the times. But to set the direction.
When a family runs a company in the sixth generation, it can look back on a long history. In our case, the family and company have been intertwined for almost two centuries. The family always looks to the future for the company, as it is important to preserve what has been created for future generations. That is why we are always driving change, but remain true to ourselves at all times. For our customers, for our employees, for the region in which we are rooted.
Quote from Joachim Quirl, Managing Director
"I am certain that our success, that the popularity of our brand lies in our tradition. In the tradition of never refusing to embrace progress. To critically scrutinise the new, to question the tried and tested. But never to abandon the standpoint that we want to be and must be a safe partner for our employees, customers and service providers. "Safe since 1827" is not just another slogan for us. We live it and I am proud of that."

CIMCO click ’n’ crimp PV MC 4 crimping pliers
CIMCO solar tools for professionals
The energy transition is in safe hands
Bringing about the energy transition with tools that are lightweight, reliable and safe
The energy transition is underway and the proportion of solar power making up the German electricity mix is on the rise. If this growth is to continue, the sector needs electronics engineers to work on installing and maintaining photovoltaic systems. CIMCO supports these professionals by providing tools that are safe, reliable, lightweight and more than capable of meeting the demands made of them when working on roofs or solar arrays.
CIMCO solar tools are both ergonomic and compact. The perfect example of this are the click’n’crimp PV MC 4 crimping pliers, which weigh just 650 g and have space to store exchangeable inserts in their handle. And then there is the lightweight, handy and efficient automatic wire stripper with integrated diagonal pliers: its precise, 5-fold fine adjustment feature means it can even remove multi-layered insulation from solar cables. A new addition to the range is the PV-Strip insulation stripper for PV cables from 2.5 to 6 mm². Whether engineers are working on rooftop installations or on solar arrays, it is important that they can transport their tools comfortably and store them securely, for example, in the Wave belt bag with integrated swivel function. It always stays level no matter how the wearer moves about and has enough space for PV tools and accessories. It is available for purchase full of tools. In addition, CIMCO offers accessories such as PV plug connectors, work gloves and fire safety notices. The tool experts from Remscheid really have thought of everything when it comes to PV, as you can see in CIMCO’s new PV brochure, which is available to download from cimco.de or pick up from your specialist electronics retailer.

CIMCO screwdrivers
Certain to fit well in the hand: VDE screwdrivers from CIMCO
CIMCO Werkzeuge GmbH & Co. KG sets the highest safety standards for its VDE screwdrivers. Because when working with live electrical equipment, electricians must always be able to rely on the tools used to fulfil all safety requirements. In addition to the mandatory DIN standards, CIMCO screwdrivers are also subject to stringent in-house testing in a water bath at 10,000 V AC. All screwdrivers are suitable for use at 1,000 V AC.
For all common drives
Depending on the requirements, electronics engineers must be able to use different screw drives: From classic slotted drives to PH and PZ cross-slotted drives and Torx through to plus/minus profiles. The tools are available in coordinated sets, each of which is customised to the requirements of the different areas. The special feature of the CIMCO portfolio: All variants of VDE screwdrivers are also available in the SLIM option. The width of the insulation corresponds exactly to the width of the blade, so that safe and precise work is possible even in hard-to-reach places. Particularly deep-set screws can be screwed in perfectly.
Ergonomic and resistant
The handle, which is manufactured in a 3-component injection moulding process for all variants, and its proven, ergonomic triangular handle shape, which perfectly supports the 120° angle of rotation of the human hand, is important for fatigue-free working. The curved longitudinal contour optimises the contact pressure of the hand and enables the entire handle to be enclosed. Thanks to the special composition of the three components, the screwdrivers are resistant to petrol, thinners and other chemical solvents. The plastics are also UV-resistant and ideally suited to above-average temperatures (down to -40° C).
A wide range
In its latest screwdriver brochure, the long-established Remscheid-based company once again offers a wide range of products, including VDE screwdrivers, voltage testers and torque screwdrivers. The latter respond with simple adjustability to the different tightening torques defined by the various manufacturers of terminal blocks. The torque can be adjusted and securely locked without the need for external tools. The brochure is available from specialist electrical retailers and can be viewed and downloaded at cimco.de.

CIMCO crimping pliers POWER-CRIMP PV-LOC
CIMCO solar tools for professionals
Realising the energy transition? But safely!
Realising the energy transition - easily and safely
The energy transition is underway: the proportion of solar power in the German electricity mix is increasing. To ensure that this growth can continue to be realised, electronics engineers are required to install and maintain photovoltaic systems. CIMCO supports the professionals with safe and lightweight tools that can cope with the demands of working on the roof or in the solar park.
CIMCO solar tools are both ergonomic and space-saving. The best example of this is the click'n'crimp PV MC 4 crimping pliers, which weigh just 650 g and offer the option of storing interchangeable inserts in the leg of the pliers.
The new POWER-CRIMP PV-LOC crimping pliers crimps solar connectors of the MC 4 market standard in the crimping range 1.5 - 6 mm². A unique lever transmission greatly reduces manual force. The crimping pliers are equipped with a locator that centres the connectors in the die, leaving the second hand free to feed the cable.
The automatic wire stripper with integrated side cutter is also light, handy and efficient: the precise 5-position fine adjustment enables multi-layer insulation to be removed from solar cables.
The PV-Strip stripper for PV cables from 2.5 - 6 mm ² is a new addition to the range. Whether for installations on roofs or in solar parks: convenient transport and safe storage of the tools are important, for example in the Wave belt pouch with integrated swing function. It always remains level, even when working on a slope, and offers sufficient space for PV tools and accessories. It is available fully equipped. CIMCO also offers accessories such as PV connectors, work gloves and fire protection signs. The tool professionals from Remscheid have thought of everything when it comes to PV, as the new PV brochure from CIMCO shows, which can be downloaded from cimco.de and is available from electrical retailers.

CIMCO pliers
Everything under control - with the professional pliers programme from CIMCO
From diagonal cutters to combination pliers, from long nose pliers to telephone pliers: the pliers required by electronics engineers are diverse and specially tailored to the various areas of application. Which model is best suited to which requirements and which location? The current pliers brochure from CIMCO provides an ideal overview: the long-established Remscheid-based company will continue to meet the highest demands in electrical installation in 2023.
Safety has top priority
All pliers are tested in a special, robot-controlled process at 10,000 V AC and approved for 1,000 V AC. They are labelled with the "Tested Safety - Made in Germany" seal, certified in accordance with DIN standards and VDE-tested. Handle covers with two-colour plastic dipped insulation also ensure comprehensive protection for the tradesman: if the orange layer becomes visible under the red layer due to heavy wear, this indicates that the protective function is no longer provided and the tool needs to be replaced.
Comfort comes first
Those who prioritise maximum comfort and ergonomics for their tools will opt for pliers with 2-component handles: These have soft and hard zones that are optimally adapted to the anatomy of the human hand. Power diagonal cutters, which are designed to save force, also offer more comfort: The cutting angle and transmission ratio are optimally matched and ensure perfect cutting performance with reduced effort.
Cutting or gripping?
CIMCO also provides the perfect tool for thinner wires, such as the finest stranded wires, with its 1,000 V diagonal cutters. The 1,000 V wire strippers can be used for precise stripping of 1.5 and 2.5 mm² conductors in plant and control cabinet construction, for example. If you need gripping pliers, you will also find an extensive range with numerous different models, such as the 1,000 V telephone pliers, which are available in versions with long, straight or curved jaws and are suitable for the most complex applications. Pliers for special applications such as screw pliers or water pump pliers round off the programme.
The brochure is available from specialist electrical retailers and can be viewed and downloaded at cimco.de.
