Founded in 2018 by Simon Messinger—out of a desire to make trail building more effective and easier.
Simon Messinger founded Dörte Tools with a clear vision: to make trail building more effective and easier. As an avid mountain biker, he had previously launched other projects, such as the online map Mybikemap and the fashion label Alpen Homies.
With over 20 years of experience in mechanical engineering, combined with a commitment to perfection and the use of the highest-quality materials, Dörte Tools produces top-of-the-line tools for trail-building applications.
The desire to offer high-quality trail-building tools on the German and Central European markets without having to rely on products from overseas.
Official launch of Dörte Tools in the Swabian Alb region — “Made in Germany” manufacturing from the very beginning.
Despite our European roots, we serve customers worldwide, from the Americas to Asia—and have been honored with the “World of MTB Best Of 2025” award.
“Top quality, combined with the best possible service, has been our top priority from the very beginning.” Every tool is manufactured entirely in Germany, with resharpenable tool heads and a 2-year warranty against weld seam failure.
