BESSEY and VIKING ARM conclude license agreement – an innovation in the field of one-handed lifting tools

It is rare for a hand tool with completely new technology to be launched on the market and quickly gain worldwide recognition. But this is exactly what the Norwegian company VIKING ARM has achieved with its innovative and extremely versatile one-hand assembly tool. Since its market launch in 2019, the VIKING ARM has already been successfully sold in 36 countries.

On May 27, 2025, BESSEY Tool GmbH & Co. KG signed a license agreement with VIKING ARM. With this partnership, BESSEY officially recognizes VIKING ARM as the originator of the ingenious lifting technology. The agreement enables BESSEY to launch its own, enhanced version of the one-handed lifting tool, the new BEYCEPS – an innovation for which a patent application has already been filed.

Both companies – known for their innovative strength in the hand tool industry – are delighted about the new collaboration. The aim is to inspire even more professional users and DIY enthusiasts with the benefits of a one-handed lifting tool.

Ulf Atle Hansen, CEO at VIKING ARM AS, says: “Our vision is that VIKING ARM shall be recognized for its innovation, quality and speed to the market. This agreement is a testament to that vision coming to life.”

Carsten Spang, CEO at BESSEY, adds: “With an ingenious idea, VIKING ARM has set a real milestone in the field of hand tools – a tool that has pushed boundaries! Inspired by this innovation and with all the passion that goes into every BESSEY product, we have created the BEYCEPS. A tool that is not only powerful, but also carries the BESSEY DNA – innovative, precise and unique – SIMPLY BETTER! We are proud of this strong partnership with VIKING ARM and are very much looking forward to what is yet to come together in the future!”
