For special ergonomic requirements and individual projects
Do you have special ergonomic requirements or are you planning a customized scissor project for your company?
When standard models reach their limits, we develop customized solutions: precisely manufactured and tailored to your personal requirements. Thanks to our own CNC production facility in Solingen, we can implement individual adjustments as well as complete one-off productions.


When the standard is not enough
Special situations can arise in the everyday working life of hairdressers:
- Anatomical features
- Consequences of injuries
- Permanent stress or ergonomic limitations
- Special grip requirements
- Individual company projects

Special solutions from Solingen
If the standard solution is not sufficient, we will work with you to develop a suitable solution. Thanks to our in-house design and manufacturing facilities in Solingen, we can implement individual customizations with precision.

practical example
Custom-made Hairdressing scissors a master hairdresser
A moment of inattention and it's already happened: an accident that leads to incapacity for work and thus throws your life plans into disarray. This is what happened to a master hairdresser who lost the ring finger of her right hand. Although surgery allowed the little finger to be moved to the place of the ring finger, it was not enough to cut hair.
The result: Ms. W. was threatened with lifelong incapacity to work.

initial situation
The employers' liability insurance association searched worldwide for a manufacturer to produce a small number of custom scissors. Mass producers had to decline. TONDEO able to take on the project thanks to its in-house design and CNC manufacturing capabilities.

conceptualization
The ergonomic requirements and feasibility were examined. It quickly became clear that a customized solution was feasible. Drawing on their many years of experience, Arnd Jendick (Head of Production) and Michael Torgau (Design Engineer) developed a suitable pair of scissors.

implementation
Within a few weeks, an initial plastic sample was produced to test the fit. After specific adjustments, it was clear that the solution met the ergonomic requirements. The final product was then manufactured from steel.

feasibility study
From the first sample to the perfect fit
Just four weeks later, Ms. W. had her first plastic sample in her hands.
"That was the first time I felt truly understood," she recalls. "Others always said, 'Just cut with another finger.' But I didn't want to just cut hair. I wanted to work at the same high level as before the accident. Cutting hair is my passion."

prototype production
Development and design
The fitting revealed that these scissors would do the job. After a few minor adjustments, the final scissors could be milled from steel.
Genuine custom manufacturing, made possible by modern CNC technology and skilled craftsmanship.

return
Back at work
Today, Ms. W. can once again work at the level of quality she expects of herself. The custom-made scissors enable precise cutting, ergonomic working, and long-term resilience.
For us, this project was an example of what customized manufacturing can achieve: creating solutions where other systems reach their limits.
Because we love what we do.
Your questions. Our answers.
Yes. Thanks to our in-house production and CNC technology, we can also produce individual items or small series.
After a personal consultation, we check the feasibility, create a sample if necessary, and make fine adjustments together before final production takes place.
The duration depends on the scope of the adjustments. In many cases, an initial sample can be produced within a few weeks.
The initial consultation is non-binding. During this meeting, we will discuss together what the next steps might look like.
