A legacy forged in chrome-vanadium
The hand-tool brand India's industrial professionals have trusted since 1961 — born from a partnership with German engineering, grown in India, exported worldwide.
From Remscheid to India, and on to the world
The Jhalani story didn't start in 1961 — it started in 1919 in a German forge, and travelled to India through one of the country's most enduring industrial collaborations.
- 1919 · Gedore · DE
Gedore is founded in Germany
The Dowidat brothers establish Gedore in Remscheid, Germany — a forge that would become one of Europe's most respected hand-tool makers, especially for spanners, sockets and wrenches.
- 1961 · Gedore Jhalani
Jhalani brings Gedore to India
The Jhalani family launches Indian production under technical collaboration with Gedore — bringing German drop-forging metallurgy, dimensional discipline and bi-hex socket geometry to Indian workshops for the first time. Spanners roll out under the co-branding ‘Gedore Jhalani’.
- 2025 · Made in India
Cold-forged sockets, made in India
Jhalani commissions India's first commercial cold-forging line for impact sockets — moving the country off cast sockets and onto tools that hold torque the way OEM buyers demand.
- 1990s · Global Exports
Export markets open up
Jhalani-built tools begin shipping to industrial buyers across the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and Europe — under both private labels and the Jhalani name.
- 2010s · Jhalani Hand Tools
Brand consolidates as Jhalani Hand Tools
As the partnership with Gedore is wound down, the Indian operation continues independently as Jhalani Hand Tools — retaining the original forging plant, the original quality programme, and the original family ownership.
- 2015 · Ferreterro Tools LLP
Ferreterro Tools LLP becomes the parent entity
The business is restructured under Ferreterro Tools LLP, the holding entity that today manufactures and distributes the full Jhalani range — spanners, sockets, pliers, screwdrivers, hammers and more — across India and 30+ international markets.
Specified into India's biggest projects
From cement plants to railways, refineries to defence — Jhalani tools have been part of India's infrastructure backbone for decades.
