Classics that have stood the test of time since 1903

From the very beginning, Karl Weis specialised in manufacturing kitchen and household items made of metal. Early on, the company produced balloon whisks, graters, fruit presses and skimming spoons of all kinds – many of which remain part of the range today. Even the famous Nestbacklöffel (cake spoon) was an invention of the founder. These timeless classics prove that good design and functionality endure through generations.

The Karl Weis professional balloon whisk is among the brand’s most iconic products. It stands out for its quality, featuring a rounded, ergonomic tube handle and a robust build. The whisks come in five sizes, including a heavy-duty version with thicker wires for demanding tasks. Used in professional kitchens worldwide, they’re equally popular among passionate home cooks.

Another classic is the Spätzlehobel – the traditional tool for making Spätzle pasta – which has been a mainstay in the Karl Weis range for decades. Today, it’s made in four versions: for long Swabian Spätzle and short Bavarian Knöpfle – each available in both home and XXL catering sizes. This reflects Karl Weis’ dedication to developing tools that meet the needs of both professionals and home cooks.

Karl Weis has a clear philosophy: to offer a diverse product range of high-quality kitchen tools at fair prices. The company’s portfolio covers tableware, preparation, cooking, baking, bar and catering equipment. With around 1,200 products – including a wide variety of sizes and versions – Karl Weis ensures customers can find both top sellers and unique speciality items.

The brand stands for exceptional value for money. You pay for the quality of the product, not for an expensive name. This enables retailers to offer expert advice and service while keeping prices fair. Karl Weis doesn’t think in quarters but in generations – sustainable business practices have been a cornerstone of its long history.

Materials and functionality – products built to last

Karl Weis primarily manufactures in metal – stainless steel, tinplate and other premium-quality metals. Each product is designed with a focus on functionality, ergonomics and durability. The balloon whisks have rounded handles for comfortable grip even during extended use. Palette knives, sieves and spoons are balanced and precise. Spice balls and other speciality tools are thoughtfully crafted down to the finest detail.

Although Karl Weis doesn’t produce electric appliances or cookware ranges, its collection covers almost every other kitchen need. From basic preparation such as sifting and whisking to advanced baking and elegant serving – Karl Weis provides the right tool for the job. The products are used in professional kitchens, restaurants, bakeries and cafés, but are equally appreciated by enthusiastic home cooks who value quality and practicality.
