Drilling expert acquired by A.S.F. Fischer 20 July 2023

A.S.F. Fischer B.V has acquired the entire drilling brand, REX, including its associated product range, from the Dutch-based firm Hemmink B.V. All logistics and commercial activities of REX are being integrated as part of the merger.

Through the acquisition, customers of both companies will benefit from synergies in both logistics and commercial areas.” 

REX has been a leading choice for professionals for over 75 years in the field of high-quality drills, chisels and hole saws. For its part, A.S.F. Fischer is known for brands such as Woodies®, Interdynamics®, QlinQ®, Steelies®, Grabber®, Fis®-Profi and Perfectmate®. This is the second recent acquisition for the company following its takeover of Herag last January.
