Cutting-edge tools from a century-old corporation

While many people in the pet grooming and coat care industry are familiar with the names WAHL and MOSER, they may not fully grasp the extent of their connection. At the heart of this relationship is the German company Wahl GmbH, a leading manufacturer and distributor specializing in electric hair clippers and trimmers for both humans and animals in Europe.

A first in the US

Wahl GmbH is a subsidiary of the US-based Wahl Clipper Corporation. The company was founded in 1919 in Sterling, Illinois, by Leo J. Wahl. He was also the inventor of the electric clippers with the first US patent.

MOSER was founded in 1946, and since 1976 it has a dedicated line for animal clippers. Wahl Clipper Corporation bought the company in 1996, taking over the brand and production. Over the years, the MOSER Animal brand has become well-known and favored by home users, and can now be found at major pet retail chains across Europe. Its unique test station concept allows end users to experience, test and compare the whole range of easy-to-use clippers, trimmers and coat care accessories at the point of sale.

Professional standards

The WAHL Professional line further solidifies the company’s position as a provider of grooming solutions. Designed to meet the standards of professional groomers and veterinarians, the brand encompasses clippers and trimmers tailored to various areas of application.

At the core of Wahl GmbH’s success lies its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility located in the Black Forest region in the southwest of Germany. In 2022, all the company’s production and administration units moved to a brand-new building a few kilometers from the original location. Besides the modern premises and equipment, the plant benefits from a skilled workforce and a culture of craftsmanship, which contributes to the precision engineering of each product. The blade sets, in particular, are the forte of the site.

Preferred brand

The Wahl network has contributed to the significant impact it has had on the international grooming market. With its 6 production facilities and numerous subsidiaries worldwide, the corporation’s products have earned trust and recognition from professionals and consumers alike.

Building on past and present achievements, the company is committed to expanding its market presence and reinforcing its position as the preferred brand with the ideal tools to address any hairy problems that pets, their owners, groomers and vets may encounter.
