Top 9 Pet Grooming Scissors Manufacturers: Who Is Best for Which Job

Last updated: October 2026

Pet grooming scissors manufacturers serve different buying needs. MATSUOPRO and Eversharp offer own-brand production routes; DOGWELL and Witte publish specific grooming-shear configurations; Geib, Kenchii and Artero offer established branded ranges. Choose the supply route before comparing steel or tooth counts. A distributor building a private label needs a different agreement from a salon replacing its finishing shears.

Disclosure: This guide is published by MATSUOPRO. We list ourselves first because this is our website, not because we claim to be the market leader. The other 8 manufacturers are grouped by what they’re best for, in no particular order within each group.

How We Selected These Manufacturers

In October 2026, we verified the roles at each company and its current pet-shear products against official websites. Eligible businesses manufacture finished coat-cutting scissors or design and commission their own branded products. Pure resellers, directories, marketplaces, sharpening-only businesses and nail-clipper-only ranges weren’t considered. This is a bounded procurement shortlist and not an exhaustive market-share ranking or comparative cutting test. Dates and specifications reported by the companies are as provided.

3-Route Grooming Range Selector

The 3-Route Grooming Range Selector separates stock purchasing, custom production and branded supply. Headquarters or service locations don’t determine where every shear is manufactured.

*Eversharp’s introduction states 1995; its company timeline records June 1996. The Witte reference date refers to the historical business whose website identifies Kretzer Scheren GmbH.

Own-Brand Pet Grooming Scissors Manufacturers

1. MATSUOPRO: Best for Small-Batch Private-Label Grooming Assortments

Headquarters: China; Guangzhou and Zhangjiagang manufacturing bases · Founded: 2014 · Type: hair and pet-shear manufacturer

Official website: https://mackayhairscissors.com/

Main products: MP-SC-077 curved; MP-SC-078 (28 teeth), MP-SC-079 (24 teeth), MP-SC-080 (40 teeth); MP-SC-081 and MP-SC-082 straight; MP-SC-083 rounded-tip pet grooming shears.

Notable work: the About page reports an ISO 9001 system and BSCI/SGS factory audits.

Our pet grooming scissors range includes a published 40-tooth pet model alongside curved and straight choices. Stock starts at one piece; custom pet runs start at 50 per model. That separates a handling sample from an own-brand launch, with bulk production taking around 60 days according to our pet page. A buyer needing immediate custom replenishment must allow for that production window rather than treating stock availability as custom capacity.

2. Eversharp Pro: Best for Multiple Configurations in One Factory Program

Headquarters: Taichung, Taiwan · Founded: 1995 in its introduction; June 1996 in its timeline · Type: OEM/ODM scissors manufacturer

Official website: https://www.eversharp-pro.com/

Main products: 355 Pet straight, thinner, curved and blender configurations.

Notable work: company history lists ISO 9001 in 2009 and ISO 14001 in 2010 as historical entries.

The 355 Pet specification offers 6-, 7-, 8- and 9-inch options, Japanese 440C or AUS8 steel and 21/46-tooth choices; features vary by configuration. Convex edges, right/left versions and package design give a distributor several options for grooming scissors sets through its OEM and ODM services. Published standard minimums are 100–200 pieces per model, rising to 300–500 for customized colors, handles, logos or packaging. Very small custom launches face a substantial inventory commitment.

3. KUDI: Best for Mixed Pet-Tool Private-Label Assortments

Headquarters: Suzhou, Jiangsu, China · Founded: 2001 · Type: Suzhou Kudi Trade Co., Ltd., pet-product manufacturer

Official website: https://thekudipet.com/

Main products: cutting and thinning scissors, brushes, leashes and other pet grooming tools.

Notable work: the company publishes BSCI and Sedex listings at company level.

KUDI’s Pet Hair Cutting Scissors listing describes 23 teeth; its range also includes thinning shears for dogs and private-label packaging. The 23-tooth tool is primarily for thinning and simple trimming, so buyers assembling a full straight-and-curved cutting kit need additional models. A pet-care distributor can combine coat-trimming shears with related grooming tools through a company that reports two factories across several pet categories.

Japanese and German Grooming-Shear Makers

4. TOKOSHA / DOGWELL: Best for Model-Specific Thinning Ratios

Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan · Founded: 1917, TOKOSHA parent · Type: scissor maker and DOGWELL pet brand

Official website: https://www.joewell.co.jp/eng/

Main products: DKM/DKA/DHA straight, DRK curved and DTF/DTD/DTG thinning scissors.

Notable work: DTG-W17 changes its published cut ratio along the blade.

DOGWELL gives professional groomers a precise selection basis: DTF-30 is listed at 35–40% removal, while DTG-W17 uses 20% at the tip and 40–50% through the middle/bottom. The difference supports switching between lighter detail work and stronger thinning within the named design. DRK-62 and DRK-69 add curved shears to the range. These ratios belong to the specified models and blade positions; a buyer can’t use them as a universal result for every coat texture or substitute another 17-tooth shear on count alone.

5. Witte / Kretzer: Best for Cataloged German Left-Hand Options

Headquarters: Solingen, Germany · Founded: 1970, historical Witte business · Type: Witte range, current entity Kretzer Scheren GmbH

Official website: https://www.k-r-witte.de/

Main products: stainless pet cutting and thinning shears, including left-handed items.

Notable work: the pet catalogue lists RL82193 at 6.5 inches with 46 single teeth.

Published tables connect length and tooth layout with article numbers, so a retailer can name repeat orders without relying on a handle photograph. Adjustable screws and fitted finger rests appear in the cataloged range. Its left-handed 82161 is a 6.0-inch, 39-tooth thinner. This isn’t an identical left-hand version of RL82193: a salon ordering for both hands must allow for the different length and tooth configuration rather than promise matching material removal from the pair.

6. UTSUMI: Best for a Japanese Maker with Trial and Maintenance Routes

Headquarters: Settsu, Osaka, Japan · Founded: 1987 · Type: Japanese scissor brand manufacturer

Official website: https://utsumi-pet.jp/

Main products: pet finishing, thinning, bob and left-handed scissors.

Notable work: the company acquired its Osaka factory in 2000 and entered the pet business in 2002. According to UTSUMI, its Osaka factory practices the craft of traditional Japanese sword-derived forging, with skilled workers finishing scissors individually.

UTSUMI’s company history distinguishes the maker’s foundation from its later pet expansion; the Japanese pet storefront links to maintenance/customization, a trial service and overseas dealers. Those routes help grooming professionals assess ergonomic fit and grooming experience through the appropriate seller. The Japanese direct storefront limits returns to defects reported within seven days, so the trial route has practical value before purchase.

Established Grooming Brands and Service Routes

7. Geib Buttercut: Best for Matched Professional Grooming Kits

Headquarters: Orlando, Florida, USA · Founded: 1976 · Type: family-owned professional shear brand and developer

Official website: https://www.buttercut.com/

Main products: Gator straight, curved and blending grooming shears.

Notable work: Gator G-85-3PK40 combines two 8.5-inch shears with a 40-tooth blender.

Geib packages a straight shear, curved shear and blender as a coordinated grooming kit, with ball-bearing pivots and a tension-balancing spring specified on the product page. A professional grooming salon can purchase the set as one defined configuration instead of assembling three unrelated products. The kit’s fixed composition is also its constraint: a groomer seeking shorter detail shears needs a different purchase. Geib’s company history dates the business to 1976, distinct from Edward Geib’s earlier sharpening work.

8. Kenchii: Best for Design-Led Ranges with Published US Repair Support

Headquarters: Kennesaw, Georgia, USA contact/service location · Founded: Not publicly disclosed · Type: grooming-tool design brand

Official website: https://kenchiigrooming.com/

Main products: grooming shears, thinners and Happy Puppy / Happy Kitty ball-tip dog and cat shears.

Notable work: the published service route covers sharpening and repair requests.

Kenchii describes collaboration with groomers and stylists in product design. Its service page provides shipping instructions, service fees and a Kennesaw destination, so a buyer can plan maintenance alongside the initial order. Ball-tip options add a distinct format to the assortment, but sharp blades still need controlled handling. Listed service rates apply to US customers, while international buyers supplying pet salons need a separate quote and longer transit allowance.

9. Artero: Best for Dense-Coat Pre-Cutting within a Wider Salon Range

Headquarters: Vilassar de Dalt, Barcelona, Spain · Founded: 1909 · Type: family-owned pet-care design and manufacturing brand

Official website: https://artero.com/

Main products: straight, curved, thinning, chunker and left-handed dog grooming scissors.

Notable work: Atila T71275 is listed as a 7.5-inch straight shear in Japanese 440C steel.

Atila uses wide, thick blades and a short semi-offset handle with an integrated finger rest. Artero positions that model for pre-cutting and defining lines in thick, dense coats. Its wider catalogue separates straight grooming, curved and texturizing tools, so a salon can build around the task rather than a single premium-steel label. Atila’s pre-cutting role is the buying boundary: it shouldn’t be selected as the default delicate finishing shear merely because its steel matches another model.

How to Choose a Pet Grooming Scissors Manufacturer

Which Configurations Belong in a Professional Pet Range?

Start with a professional straight shear, a curved model and a thinner or blender. Add a chunker for bulk shaping, a smaller detail format and genuine left-handed scissors where the users need them. Compare total length separately from cutting length. Our curved dog grooming shears guide covers that configuration choice.

How Should Buyers Compare Manufacturing Regions?

Compare the producer, model and support route. Japanese steel doesn’t establish Japanese manufacture. The words “high-quality stainless steel” don’t identify an alloy grade. A durable edge also needs suitable heat treatment and geometry. Use the scissor steel material guide to specify the blade’s precision cutting and durability requirements.

What Should an Own-Brand Quote Include?

• Model, steel grade and edge geometry for scissors and thinning shears.
• Thin/dense coat samples, breed and intended blending result.
• Left/right variants and the quantities for each.
• Stock, logo and custom-production minimums quoted separately.
• Approved sample, delivery date and tolerances for reliable repeat orders.
• Spare parts, sharpening, warranty and return shipping.
• Current certificate scope, material traceability and any outsourced processes.

Private-label services and custom engraving are separate decisions from choosing the blade.

Pet Grooming Scissors Buying FAQ

Which Manufacturer Is Best for a Complete Salon Range?

Eversharp suits configurable factory ranges; Geib suits a coordinated branded kit. MATSUOPRO suits a smaller private-label launch. Choose the route that matches the order before comparing individual professional pet grooming scissors. A salon replacing two shears has different stock, training and maintenance needs from a distributor introducing its own brand.

Who Is the Largest Pet Grooming Scissors Manufacturer?

Equivalent annual pet-shear sales or production figures aren’t published on the shortlist. An order minimum describes a purchasing threshold rather than annual factory output. Businesses like a broad pet-products factory, a hair cutting scissors business and a grooming brand measure different activities. Use model availability and repeat-order support rather than relying on an unsupported largest-manufacturer claim.

What Is the Difference Between a Manufacturer and a Supplier?

A manufacturer makes the finished product; a supplier may manufacture, commission its own designs or resell another brand. Kenchii is a brand owner that works with professional stylists, groomers and industry experts to refine its designs for professional grooming tools. For wholesale pet grooming supply, identify who controls the specification and who resolves an unsuccessful batch.

How Much Do Pet Grooming Scissors Cost?

Selected retail examples run from Kenchii’s $27 Happy Puppy/Kitty listing to Artero’s $113.16 Atila in October 2026. Geib’s $217.14 Gator offer is a three-piece kit. These are retail examples, not an OEM quote or a price-to-quality ranking; shipping and local charges are separate.

Can a Small Brand Start with a Few Models?

Yes. MATSUOPRO’s published custom minimum is 50 pieces per model, so three models would start at 150 pieces before any further configuration conditions. A stock sample from one piece tests handling without becoming a custom order. Keep logo placement, finish and packaging in the inquiry, and approve the production sample before bulk manufacture.

Can Distributors Buy an Established Grooming Brand?

Branded supply keeps product identity. A private-label adjustment to a shear would require a separate contract rather than assuming every retail model can be rebranded.

Define Your Range Before Requesting Samples

Send a model list with the intended coat work, quantities, handedness and branding. We can help prepare a pet-shear sample request against our published range, with stock sampling and custom production priced separately.
