The world market leader in the field of clamping and fixing workpieces has its headquarters near Stuttgart – like so many other world market leaders. Like them, Bessey is by no means a hidden champion; the company enjoys a high profile as a manufacturer of reliable, high-quality and innovative clamps and other tools for wood and metalworking.

Bessey: A suitable solution for every workpiece to be fixed

‘You can never have enough clamps.’ This is an almost trivial realisation, but as so often, it contains a great deal of truth. And when it comes to clamps, tensioners and the like, reaching for a Bessey product can never be a mistake. The workmanship and precision of these tools, which are usually subject to heavy use on a daily basis, ensure a long service life. Above all, however, the use of steel types developed and manufactured in-house contributes to the outstanding quality of the products, because the special requirements of certain clamps can be taken into account in the base material used. In addition to steel, aluminium, high-quality plastics and wood are used in the manufacturing process, and these are also carefully matched to the purpose.

Enormous variety

The Sauter shop offers a large selection from the huge range of products available from Bessey. After all, it's not just about having a lot of clamps in the workshop, but also about having the best solution for the job at hand. The requirements in terms of size and design will vary depending on the user's needs. But in most workshops you will find at least a number of all-steel or malleable cast iron screw clamps. Most of the other special solutions have been developed from this design: lever clamps, gear clamps, one-handed clamps, body clamps, table clamps and clamps for guide rails as well as clamping elements for workbenches.

The Bessey strap clamps, knee lever clamps and laying aids are based on fundamentally different design principles, but perform similar tasks. Above all, the various designs of knee lever clamps are almost indispensable when it comes to constructing fixtures or equipping a milling table in a wood workshop: secure and powerful workpiece clamping plays a crucial role here.
