Wenger SA was a Swiss cutlery manufacturer founded in 1893, best known as one of two companies to manufacture Swiss Army knives. The company was acquired by rival Victorinox in 2005 and partially absorbed. In 2013, Wenger and Victorinox announced the separate knife brands would be merged into the Victorinox brand, while Wenger's watch and licensing business continues as a separate brand. Wenger watches are Swiss made and positioned as more affordable alternatives to Victorinox, focusing on outdoor and adventure markets. The company changed its slogan to 'A Swiss Company Since 1893' from 'Maker of the Genuine Swiss Army Knife' in 2016. Wenger is based in Delémont in the French-speaking Canton of Jura.
