Manufacturer profile

STABILA

Spirit levels, folding rules and laser measuring equipment

Manufacturer overview

STABILA's company history begins with Gustav Ullrich's ruler factory in Annweiler, Germany, in 1889, with earlier family measuring-tool activity dating to 1865. Annweiler am Trifels remains its headquarters. The manufacturer specializes in tools for measuring and alignment used by professional trades.

Spirit levels and folding rules are central to its heritage, alongside tape measures, electronic measuring tools and construction lasers. A distinctive manufacturing feature is the permanent casting of spirit-level vials into the profile, rather than relying on routine user adjustment. The company's history also includes patented folding-rule joints and developments in laser protection. STABILA's position is therefore centered on practical measurement and alignment on the jobsite, where readable instruments and stable measuring geometry matter as much as the nominal scale.
