On Saturday, November 15, 2025, RUKO welcomed a total of 17 influencers to its production site in Holzgerlingen. The specialists, who came from Germany, Austria, and, for the first time, England, with a focus on crafts, industry, and technology, were treated to an exciting mix of RUKO insights, extensive product testing opportunities, and, of course, plenty of room for networking and exchange at the third annual Tool Xpert Day.
The shortage of skilled workers poses major challenges for a wide range of industries – including in the Böblingen and Tübingen region. RUKO GmbH Präzisionswerkzeuge from Holzgerlingen addressed this issue in spring 2025 with a regionally focused recruitment campaign. The aim was to raise the company's profile as an attractive employer while appealing to a variety of target groups: from trainees, interns, and dual students to skilled workers and administrative staff for areas such as manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and sales.
RUKO is reorganizing its management team: Tobias Konz will be appointed Managing Director as of October 1, 2025. He will take over the management of the company together with Mohammed Anwar.
With the new ULTIMATECUT Multidrill with FLOWSTEP® tip, the developers at RUKO are setting a new standard in terms of power and precision. Equipped with up to 8 steps and a cutting depth of up to 10 millimetres, the new step drill is a specialist for fast and powerful drilling results in mild steel.
With the new ULTIMATECUT combi machine tap, users have a tool that significantly shortens work processes and makes them more profitable.
RUKO GmbH Präzisionswerkzeuge welcomes Mohammed Anwar as the new Managing Director for Sales and Marketing.
RUKO is expanding its ULTIMATECUT countersink range with the introduction of the countersink 4S with HSSE-Co 5 alloy to increase the efficiency and tool life of the tool.
Since 1974, the name RUKO has stood for outstanding drilling and cutting tools - and highly competent employees who seem to have been born working with the tools. With state-of-the-art production, constant product optimisation and numerous innovations, RUKO has developed into a leading supplier in the tool industry
Can you talk about real innovation in a countersink? Can you really make a professional countersink visibly - and more importantly - noticeably better?
To put it in a nutshell, it can. The new RUKO ULTIMATECUT 4S countersink provides the proof and completely reinterprets countersinking. It works faster, works more efficiently, saves power and is also many times more durable than conventional countersinks.
12 million tonnes of plastic waste end up in our oceans every year. Because of this, RUKO has decided to offer a sustainable, plastic-free packaging alternative.
Towards the end of the year, we will replace the majority of our assortments in sheet steel cassettes with corresponding plastic boxes. We are thus following a market development that started many years ago.
We therefore ask you to order these alternative articles in plastic cassettes with immediate effect.
The RUKO ULTIMATECUT step drill was copied by the company Karnasch Professional Tools GmbH in geometry, product design and marketing message. This case of particularly brazen imitation has now been honored by the Plagiarius e.V. campaign with its negative prize.
