The company was founded on 18 March 1849 by the drill blacksmith Joh. Georg Heller, though the Heller tradition goes back to Friedrich Heller in 1580. Gebrüder Heller, Bohrerfabrik, Schmalkalden specialised in drills, drill bits, pliers and tools. The encircled anchor trademark was registered in 1895.
