About Fastorq
A long tool-manufacturing story, in short
On a northern, mountainous region of Spain, there is a land of steel and iron. There, forges and metallurgy have developed since ancient times under the shadow of the peaks. One of them called Fastorq and, since 1930, shares its name with our hand tools.
Fastorq quickly became the benchmark for car tools in Spain. Its socket sets, wrenches, boosters or jacks had no competition, but even less a brand’s own invention: the side nut adjustable wrench. For almost a century, we grew our knowledge on how to best manufacture strong, consistent tools for mechanics. No wonder why, back in the 1930’s, “it’s better… because it’s IRIMO” became a slogan!
Times change and so do we. Thanks to joining SNA Europe some decades ago, we were able to ensure our competitiveness while sticking true to ourselves. What’s more, we were able to extend our production of reasonable-priced, quality devices to further professions: lighting, pipe, carpentry and much more. That is how we’ve managed to stay being who we’ve always been: manufacturers of long-lasting, quality hand tools for professionals who work hard.
