The Beginnings: SOLA in 1949

The history of SOLA is marked by persistent innovation and continuous success. In 1949, this history began in the attic of founder Guido Scheyer's home. After an intensive development phase, the company's first level – the NT4 wooden inclinometer – was created there. This marked the birth of today's company SOLA, as the NT4 became a success. The significant contributions of Guido Scheyer's two employees, Messrs. Sottopietra and Latzel, were essential in this endeavor. The brand name SOLA, now known worldwide, was derived from their initials.

Innovation and Precision Combined

Today, SOLA presents itself as a pioneer with a wide range of over 1,500 items, all meeting the highest quality standards. From levels to laser devices, tape measures, rulers, squares, and markers, SOLA offers professional measuring and marking tools for diverse applications. Today, SOLA is particularly known for the high quality of its levels, which are manufactured in Austria and perfected to precision, user-friendliness, and efficiency down to the smallest detail. One of SOLA's most significant innovations is the patented SOLA FOCUS vial, which has been used in almost all levels since 2011. These vials feature large, vivid green markings to delineate the ‘out of level’ areas, and a magnifying lens, providing four times higher contrast for reading than conventional ring vials. Thus, SOLA's measuring tools enable an even easier and more precise workflow in any application imaginable. That's what fundamentally distinguishes SOLA.
