HAZET presents a new logo in its anniversary year

Just in time for the anniversary year, HAZET, the Remscheid-based manufacturer of quality hand tools and workshop equipment, presents its new logo which is to accompany the company throughout the anniversary year with immediate effect.

Since “everything tool related” at HAZET “revolved around the screw” from the very beginning, the first main component is the well-known double-hexagonal (12 pointed) traction profile, which is typical of HAZET, and is synonymous with traditional screw driving tools on the one hand and with modern screw profile tool technology on the other.

The 5 stars in the profile stand for the 5 generations. Together with Guido Schmidt, Matthias Hoffmann manages the company’s business and, as a shareholder, represents the fifth generation of the family business at the same time.

“‘150 years of the future’ is the true slogan that our company should display throughout its anniversary year”, says Carsten Scholz, Director of Marketing. From the very beginning “150 years of the future stands for the continuous further development of our company, our products and employees, which breathe new life into us everyday at HAZET and constantly impress our customers with innovations, new products or good sales and marketing ideas!”

This is how manufacturing hinges, ball locks, telephone pliers or flash pliers has today produced an ultra-modern company with more than 5,500 different products, and one of the most well-known and most popular tool brands in the world – “HAZET – Das Werkzeug”.
