With the publication of its 2021/2022 catalog, the Hoffmann Group announces that it will be published every 2 years from now on.
The extended life of the catalogs, called the "orange Bible" by many users, will reduce paper consumption by about 1,000 tons per year and also prevent CO2 emissions required for transportation. With more than 86,000 articles, the new catalog 2021/2022 offers a comprehensive range of quality tools, operating equipment and personal protective equipment and is valid from August 1, 2021. All articles are available in the eShop: www.hoffmann-group.com. A total of approximately 110,000 items are available from stock.
Henry Blom, general manager at the Hoffmann Group in the Netherlands/Belgium, reports, "we asked our customers if they could envision a longer useful life for the catalog so that we can improve our carbon footprint. The proposal was supported by a clear majority. We are very happy that our customers support our sustainability initiative. The released funds will be used to develop our digital channels to provide even better service to our customers." The Hoffmann Group's 2021/2022 catalog includes items from 500 brands from leading suppliers and items from its own brands GARANT and HOLEX. Most of the new products (39%) come from the "machining and clamping technology" sector. For example, the "GARANT Master" product family, which combines tools for high-performance machining, has been expanded to include the first VHM drill bit for micro-precision machining.
The new GARANT Master Steel MICRO is designed for highest precision and stability at the best possible performance and stands out with a central , powerful cooling system.
The range of "hand and measuring tools" has also been expanded once again:
a particular highlight are the Bluetooth-compatible tools from the product family Hoffmann Group Connected Tools (HCT) , which wirelessly transmit measurement data to a PC or the HCT smartphone app. The growing HCT family includes the digital GARANT slide gauge HCT, depth gauge HCT and the electronic GARANT torque/turn wrench HCT. Several manufacturers have already expressed interest in integrating their products into the HCT app.
The range of personal protective equipment has also grown significantly. Of all the new products, about one-third can be found in the PPE catalog. In business equipment, about 500 new positions are included in the catalog, and here, too, there are attractive newcomers.
Whether it's machining, milling, drilling, turning, clamping, measuring, grinding, hand tools, operating equipment or safety at work - the Hoffmann Group catalogs, available in 18 languages, have it all.
