Press Release
Rediscover HB – now at the A+A in Düsseldorf!
Thalhausen, 17 October 2017 – Change and growth are fundamental
components of HB’s DNA. They have also shaped the company’s
appearance at this year’s A+A. Just in time for the fair, HB has
strategically extended its range, systematically built up individual
sectors, and developed an innovative product and service offer that
further reinforces its position as market leader. Three names
represent these developments above all: TEMPEX®, Flammgard and
Ready to Wear.
In 2015, HB acquired the cold, heat and hi-vis&weather protection
product segments from TEMPEX® – they are now fully integrated in
the HB range. As a result, the company’s core competence has been
expanded and strongly strengthened.
Under the name Flammgard , HB now also offers day shift wear for
firemen. Not only do Flammgard products stand out for their high
functionality, but they can also be customised to the different
requirements of the German federal states.
Finally, Ready to Wear is an innovative line made specially for
dealers, launderers and textile leasing companies
and offers small and medium-sized businesses, in
particular, the possibility of putting together their
own individual protective clothing sets, starting
from a minimum order of 15 units. There are 216

colour combinations and 12 equipment variants available. Slogan: 1
system, more than 1,000 possibilities.
Change and growth will also define the company’s entire brand
image this year. Not only has HB changed its logo this year – it now
shows the green sea turtle as a symbol for flexible, 360° all-round
protection – but it has also integrated the name TEMPEX into it, as
well as modifying the company name: HB Schutzbekleidung has
become HB Protective Wear . So, if you visit the HB stand this year,
or take a look at the new catalogue, you’ll literally see the company in
a new guise.
HB’s new key visual: the sea turtle, symbol for flexible, 360° all-round protection.
Klaus Berthold, company owner and son of founder Herbert Berthold,
explains the reasoning behind these changes: “Our new look
underlines our objective to meet the needs of our increasingly
international customers with an even more comprehensive and
customised range of protective equipment. However, we won’t be
losing sight of our established corporate values and quality standards
to which we owe our continued strength throughout the past 65 years
and which have formed the basis of our sustained growth.”

As a groundbreaking pioneer of the industry, HB plans to keep
setting the standards in terms of design, workmanship and wear
comfort. Furthermore, the company will remain true to its origins as a
medium-sized enterprise and continue to support its customers
expertly and cooperatively as they search for their ideal PPE product.
