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, this is Hacker GmbH in Rosenheim—an owner-operated family business that has been supplying woodworking shops since 1988 and carries RUWI, among other brands, in its product range. On this page, you’ll learn what Hacker can do for your business: from hand tools and other equipment to large stationary machines—and why a trip to Rosenheim is well worth your while.

Anyone who runs a workshop is familiar with the problem: machines, tools, consumables, and replacement parts often come from different suppliers, and when repairs are needed, the search starts all over again. Hacker brings it all together. From the smallest specialty drill bit to professional power tools and panel saws, you can get everything from a single source—with advice from experts who have hands-on experience in woodworking.

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 located 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 a solid foundation and long-standing relationships with manufacturers, one who will still be available for advice, replacement parts, and service ten years from now.

The major exhibition in Rosenheim: try things out instead of just looking

One advantage of Hacker is its 1,000-square-meter showroom. Here, you’ll find a wide selection of products on display—from stationary machines to hand tools—plus a dedicated Festool test center where you can try out tools before buying. This is especially important when it comes to tools that can only be properly evaluated in use—instead of ordering blindly based on a spec sheet, you can test what works best for your job. In the large machinery showroom, panel saws, edge banding machines, belt sanders, and grinders are available for demonstration.

The Brand World: Leading Manufacturers of Tools and Machinery

In the field of hand and power tools, Hacker is a Festool system partner with its own test center, as well as 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 collaborates with manufacturers such as Altendorf for panel saws, Hebrock for edge banding, Holzkraft and Hema for band saws and stationary machines, and Beck for lifting and work tables. A special feature is the exclusive distribution of Canadian Leigh finger-jointing machines for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In addition, the company offers clamping technology from Bessey, specialty drill bits, Japanese hand tools, pneumatic equipment from Schneider, and workwear. So you rarely have to switch suppliers to get your usual brands.

Buy machinery from Hacker: Consultation, delivery, and installation

A stationary machine is an investment in your business’s competitiveness—not just an off-the-shelf purchase. That’s why Hacker starts by providing consultation from trained specialists: What workpieces? What production volumes? How much space is available in the workshop? What is the budget? These factors form the basis for our recommendation. The company then handles the transport and installation of the large machine at your site using its own delivery service, ensuring the machine runs smoothly from day one.

Service and repairs in our own workshop

The biggest advantage of a local specialist retailer becomes clear when something goes wrong. Hacker operates its own repair shop staffed by master electricians, where it repairs power tools and machines purchased from Hacker. In addition, there is a large spare parts inventory ranging from switches and carbon brushes to accessories for large machines—much of which is available directly from stock. Instead of sending a defective device far away, you have a local contact who knows the technology. If you need to pick up a item outside of business hours, use the Hacker pickup box, a secure cabinet with code access. Orders are shipped daily.

Experience the demonstrations: the in-house exhibition

Tools and machines only reveal their true value when put to use. That’s why Hacker hosts an in-house trade show every fall, where manufacturers and their experts are on site to demonstrate new products live—from Festool and Mafell to Altendorf and Hebrock, and even Holzkraft and Tormek. This is the perfect opportunity to compare multiple solutions under real-world conditions over the course of just a few days and to talk directly with the specialists.
