FELCO invites you to explore the history of modern pruning shears through a self-guided tour. To learn more, guided tours are available by reservation, taking you behind the scenes of the factory to meet the people who craft each tool, a symbol of Swiss expertise.
The manufacture FELCO, located in the heart of Val-de-Ruz, offers a dual experience centred around a living industrial heritage. The museum, which is free to visit, traces the evolution of modern pruning shears and highlights the innovation that has made FELCO world-renowned. For a more complete immersion, guided tours take visitors to the production workshops, accompanied by specialists who bring these exceptional tools to life. A unique encounter between tradition, Swiss craftsmanship and innovation, for individuals and groups alike.
