For TONDEO, history could not start anywhere else but in Solingen, the World's premier address for blades and cutting edges. The businessman Adolf Noss founded a razor blade factory in Solingen in 1931, which was taken over by TONDEO in 1949. Even then the TONDEO plant delivered exclusively to barbers. Since 1956, in addition to blades, TONDEO has also produced its own special haircutting equipment; since 1960 Solingen hair scissors, and since 1976 the first hairstyling scissors from its own production. In 1980 TONDEO became a subsidiary of Wella AG - giving it additional power to develop and implement new ideas.

Today TONDEO is the leading producer of hair scissors in Germany - and one of the top manufacturers in the world. The name TONDEO stands for quality made in Solingen and for trailblazing innovations in scissors development. Pioneering TONDEO inventions include the ergonomic grip, the tulip form of thinning scissors, and the screw adjustment with Turn-Stop technology - a safety system that prevents the setting from being too loose. With 30 patents in just ten years we are still a long way from exhausting our potential for new ideas. TONDEO will continue to set new standards in the future.
