HAHN+KOLB GROUP
For more than 125 years, HAHN+KOLB has stood for quality, innovative strength and partnership-based collaboration. What once began as a tool distributor in Stuttgart, Germany, has developed into an internationally active system partner for industry, skilled trades, research and public institutions.
Today, we support our customers far beyond pure product procurement. With a comprehensive range of tools, machines, measuring equipment, workshop and storage equipment, and occupational safety products, as well as tailored procurement and supply solutions, we create the basis for efficient and economical working processes.
As an independent subsidiary of the Würth Group, we combine the strength of a globally successful network with the flexibility and customer focus of a specialised partner. More than 870 employees are committed every day to supporting customers with expertise, personal service and solution-oriented advice.
Globally connected, successful together
Our customers benefit not only from high-quality products, but also from our many years of experience and application expertise.
Where HAHN+KOLB is represented by its own subsidiaries or sales partners, we support companies with individual advice as well as selected service, logistics and procurement solutions. In doing so, we always align ourselves with the specific requirements and processes of our customers. In this way, we support our customers throughout the entire product life cycle.
Our history
Founded on 1 July 1898 by Hermann Hahn and Adolf Kolb in Stuttgart, Germany, the company developed from a specialist tool distributor into an internationally active system partner for industry and the skilled trades.
Today, HAHN+KOLB combines the experience of a long-established company with modern technologies, digital solutions and a clear focus on the requirements of tomorrow’s industry. One thing, however, remains unchanged: our commitment to supporting customers sustainably with expertise, quality and personal advice.
