Tweezerman is a supplier of premium grade precision grooming implements for men and women. Tweezerman International (TMI) has long been recognized in the beauty industry for setting the highest standards of quality, reliability and service with every product it offers. The firm provides its customers with tools that are built to last, with a lifetime guarantee and a free sharpening policy on all its implements. Tweezerman is a subsidiary of Zwilling J.A. Henckels group which is based in Solingen, Germany. The company was founded by Dal LaMagna who started with a simple precision tweezers that did not yet exist in the marketplace, from which he launched a revolution in personal grooming products. Tweezerman International features five product lines, including its latest, His Tweezerman, introduced in 2004 to meet the special grooming needs of men. Customers can purchase the full array of Tweezerman products through professional beauty suppliers as well as top cosmetic and department stores, chain drug stores,
and specialty shops.

TMI operates a second bottom line, allocating 5% of profits to charitable organizations, while actively supporting the communities in which it operates. From the start, Tweezerman’s founder was passionate about giving back to the community. For the first ten years of business profits were minimal, and so was the amount of monetary give-back the company could afford. However, as the company has grown, so have the efforts to get involved in the communities in which the firm does business. What started out small is now a committee-run allocation of funds to causes that are decided on a yearly basis, including women’s issues, local organizations, and children’s causes.
