More than 30 years of experience
Quality, Precision and Passion - for three decades
Since 1995, canal has stood for high-quality cosmetic instruments that combine precision, quality, and durability.
Our founder, Angelika Canal, an experienced beautician and podiatrist, recognized early on the need for high-quality, professional tools in the cosmetic industry. What began with an everyday problem - a splinter in her finger and the lack of precise tweezers - developed into a brand that is now valued for quality, sustainability, and innovation.
We are proud to be specialists in high-quality instruments for manicures, pedicures & oral hygiene. Our mission statement shapes our actions: we create products that bring joy, offer excellent service, and maintain long-term, trusting relationships with our customers.
Cohesion and commitment characterize our collaboration. Environmentally friendly measures, durable products, and regional partnerships are our sustainable contribution to the environment and society.
Our history is a testament to passion, innovation, and a clear goal: to offer our customers products and solutions that simplify everyday life and bring joy – to experience and feel quality.

A splinter in her finger prompted Angelika Canal, a trained pedicurist and cosmetician, to look for a suitable splinter镊子. She quickly discovered that there was no adequate quality available on the market.
As a result, Angelika founded Canal Instrumente in 1995 with the goal of supplying Austria and the German-speaking world with high-quality steel goods.
With great dedication, she gained her first customers. Initially, packages were prepared in her attic and personally taken to the post office.
