The STABILA name has been inextricably linked to measuring, positioning, and levelling excellence in the building industry for over 130 years. The history began in 1865 when Anton Ulrich, the uncle of the company’s subsequent founder, had the idea of combining several rules together to form a folding rule. In doing so, he set the standard for folding rules still in use worldwide today. His nephew then set the foundations for the current world renowned STABILA brand with the formation of the company in 1889. Constant innovative development of measuring equipment for the building industry, numerous patents and demand for quality and ease of operation have formed the basis for the brands long and successful history.

Now from its base in Annweiler, STABILA continues to research new ways to improve measurement, and levelling tools in the building industry and even more professionally than ever before, thanks to its highly qualified workforce and continuous R&D.
