Hacker
Hacker in Rosenheim – the machine and tool specialist for woodworking in Upper Bavaria
As a tool manufacturer based in the Black Forest, we work with select specialty retailers who carry our tools. In Upper Bavaria, that’s Hacker GmbH in Rosenheim—an owner-operated family business that has been supplying woodworking shops since 1988 and carries RUWI , among other brands, RUWI product line. On this page, you’ll learn what Hacker can do for your business: from hand tools to large stationary machines—and why a trip to Rosenheim is well worth it.
Anyone who runs a workshop is familiar with the problem: machines, tools, consumables, and replacement parts often come from different suppliers, and when a repair is needed, the search starts all over again. Hacker brings it all together. From the smallest specialty drill bit to professional power tools and sliding table saw , you sliding table saw everything from a single source—with advice from experts who know the woodworking trade from hands-on experience.
A second-generation family business
Peter Hacker founded the company in Rosenheim in 1988; in 1997, it became Hacker GmbH, and since 1998, the business has been in its own premises on Traberhofstraße. Today, the company is run by the second generation. For you as a customer, this continuity is more than just a nice story – it means a partner with solid foundations and established manufacturer relationships, who will still be available for advice, spare parts, and service even in ten years.
The large showroom in Rosenheim: try it out instead of just looking
One advantage of Hacker is its showroom spanning over 1,000 square meters. Here, you'll find a wide cross-section of the product range available for you to touch and feel, from stationary machines to hand tools, plus a dedicated Festool test center where you can try out tools before buying them. Especially for tools that you can only truly assess when in use, this is the crucial factor – instead of ordering blindly from a datasheet, you get to try out what suits your work. In the large machine exhibition, sliding table saws, edgebanders, band saws, and sanding machines are ready for demonstration.
Our Brand Portfolio: leading manufacturers for tools and machinery.
For hand and power tools, Hacker is a Festool system partner with its own test center, a premium dealer for Fein, and an active partner for Mafell – complemented by Bosch, Makita, Lamello, and Tormek sharpening technology. For stationary machines, the company works with manufacturers like Altendorf for sliding table saws, Hebrock for edgebanding, Holzkraft and Hema for band saws and stationary machines, and Beck for lift and work tables. A special feature is the exclusive distribution of Canadian Leigh dovetail jigs for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Additionally, you'll find clamping technology from Bessey, special drills, Japanese hand tools, compressed air technology from Schneider, and workwear. This means you rarely need to switch between suppliers to get your usual brands.
Buying machines at Hacker: Consultation, Delivery, Setup
A stationary machine is an investment in your business's competitiveness – and not an off-the-shelf purchase. That's why Hacker starts with consultation from trained specialists: What workpieces, what quantities, what space in the workshop, what budget? This leads to a recommendation. Afterward, the company handles the transport and setup of the large machine at your location with its own delivery service, ensuring the machine runs smoothly from day one.
Service and Repair in Our Own Workshop.
The biggest advantage of a local specialist dealer becomes clear when something goes wrong. Hacker maintains its own repair workshop with a master electrician and repairs power tools and machines purchased from Hacker there. Additionally, there's a large spare parts warehouse, ranging from switches and carbon brushes to accessories for large machines – many items are available directly from stock. Instead of sending a faulty device far away, you have a local contact who knows the technology. If you need to pick up outside opening hours, you can use the Hacker pick-up box, a secure cabinet with code access. Orders leave the premises daily via shipping.
Experience demonstrations: the in-house exhibition
Tools and machines only show their true value when in use. That's why Hacker hosts an in-house exhibition every autumn, where manufacturers and their experts are on-site to demonstrate new products live – from Festool and Mafell to Altendorf and Hebrock, Holzkraft, and Tormek. This is your chance to compare several solutions under real-world conditions over a few days and talk to the specialists.
