In 1950, Mr. Fritz Weber founded his "one-man company", FRITZ WEBER, FEINMECHANIK UND WERKZEUGBAU and in 1980 that company was reconstructed as REGO-FIX® AG, which has grown to employ over 80 workers. We realize that to continue our success as a world leader, we must work together, focusing our ideas on quality.

REGO-FIX® AG is proud to have pioneered and patented the ER style COLLET SYSTEM, which has been working on machines that require a precision clamping system: such as transfer lines, Swiss Screw and CNC machines.

A major development in our expansion occurred in 1988 when REGO-FIX® TOOL CORP. was established in Indianapolis to service the metal and wood working market of the United States. Our fine tools are shipped from our factory in Switzerland and stocked in maximum quantities to meet your order requirements. It is imperative that we satisfy our customers and we invite you to enjoy our high precision products.

Another milestone was marked by establishing REGO-FIX® GmbH in  Lörrach Germany in 1994, serving the European Community (EC) market.
