The Wahl Clipper Corporation is an American company based in Sterling, Illinois that manufactures grooming products for people and animals.^[1]

History[]

The company was founded due to Leo J. Wahl's (October 24, 1883 – May 20, 1957) patent for an electromagnetic hair clipper in 1919. On February 2, 1921, he purchased 100% of the stock of his uncle's manufacturing company which made the clipper, and incorporated the business as Wahl Clipper Corporation.

Operations[]

In 1965 Wahl introduced the first vacuum clipper, which allowed a person's hair to be cut without use of a cape.

In 1967, Wahl produced the first cordless hair clipper using rechargeable battery technology. Four years later, it started an electronics division with the first cordless and rechargeable soldering iron. In 1975, Wahl released a line of back and foot massagers utilizing the vibrating motor technology used in their hair trimmers. In 1984, Wahl invented the first cordless consumer beard and moustache trimmer.

In 2001, it patented the first vacuuming consumer beard trimmer, the Trim N Vac. Wahl manufactures its clippers and trimmers in its own factories in Sterling, Illinois; parts come from Germany, England, China, and Hungary, while international plants are present in China, England, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and Japan.

Products are sold in over 150 countries worldwide under the brands Wahl, Moser, Lister and Groom Ease. In 2006 Wahl licensed the For Dummies brand from John Wiley & Sons publishing company and launched the Home Hair-cutting for Dummies product line.
