About KANCA
KANCA is a family-owned manufacturer of forged steel hand tools, bench vises, clamps and anvils, with roots in Sürmene, Türkiye, a Black Sea town long associated with metalworking.
Since 1965, we have built tools for people who rely on them every day: in workshops, garages, machine shops, fabrication shops, farms and maintenance departments. What began with hammers, adzes, chisels and punches has grown into a modern forging company serving both the hand tool and industrial components markets.
Our tools are made in our own factory near Istanbul, where steel is forged, heat-treated, machined, finished and inspected with the discipline of a manufacturer that also supplies precision forged parts to automotive, railway and industrial customers.
For nearly sixty years, KANCA tools have been made for people who know the value of dependable equipment.
Made by a Forge, Not Just a Tool Brand
A KANCA tool starts with steel, heat and pressure.
The strength is not only in the weight of the tool. It is in the steel selected, the way it is forged, the accuracy of the machining, the alignment of the jaws, the movement of the screw, the hardness of the working surfaces and the consistency of the finish.
These are the details that determine whether a tool simply looks strong, or stays useful for years.
Built for the Places Where Work Happens
KANCA tools are made for benches that see real use.
You will find them in workshops, garages, machine shops, fabrication shops, farms, maintenance departments and industrial plants. They are tools for clamping, holding, bending, cutting, repairing, fitting, welding and building.
A good bench vise or clamp does not need to be complicated. It needs to hold securely, move cleanly, stay aligned and earn trust every time it is used.
That is what we build for.
Industrial Discipline, Everyday Reliability
Alongside our hand tools, KANCA produces precision forged components for automotive, railway and industrial customers.
That part of our work demands consistency, traceability and process control. The same manufacturing culture shapes our hand tools: careful forging, controlled heat treatment, accurate machining, durable finishes and inspection before a tool leaves the factory.
Our customers may use KANCA tools in very different places, but the expectation is the same: the tool should do its job properly, again and again.
Still Family-Owned
KANCA remains closely tied to the work itself.
The company is still family-owned. The tools are still made under our own roof. The standard is still the one that built the company: make it properly, make it strong, and make it last.
That continuity matters to us, because a tool is not only something you buy. It is something you depend on. It becomes part of a bench, a shop, a business, and sometimes a family.
