Anniversary at the tool service providerHahn+Kolb celebrates its 120th anniversary
In 2018, the Hahn+Kolb Group is celebrating its 120th anniversary. The globally active tool service provider and system supplier with 14 foreign subsidiaries, 38 sales partners in a total of 49 countries and customers from the mechanical engineering, automotive, metal, electronics and energy industries has its sights firmly set on intelligent procurement solutions and the latest manufacturing processes.
Hahn+Kolb was founded in 1898 by Herrmann Hahn and Adolf Kolb as a small trading company in Stuttgart. The Paris World Exhibition in 1900 and the Düsseldorf Exhibition in 1902 showed both of them the technical superiority of US machines and products at the time. In close cooperation with their suppliers and customers, they wanted to improve the quality of the machines and tools and make work processes more intelligent. This was the key to Hahn+Kolb's success.
