HAZET – Das Werkzeug logo

Our philosophy

With over 155 years of experience as a German family business, now in its fifth generation, we are passionate about developing and manufacturing high-quality hand tools and workshop equipment.

Reliability

Our products are used in industry, in professional car and commercial vehicle workshops as well as in motorsport. And not least in aviation maintenance, in the maritime and two-wheeler sectors and in renewable energies. In other words, wherever reliability under maximum load is a must.

Quality

High-quality materials and excellent workmanship to the highest technical and safety standards, often far beyond the prescribed norms. That's our understanding of quality! That's Premium!

Durability

If used correctly, our tools will last a lifetime and often even longer. Cherished and cared for, they are often passed on from generation to generation. Thanks to our good spare parts supply, we guarantee a high level of repair capability for wearing parts, e.g. internal ratchet parts. This is sustainable and ensures a long service life.

Sustainability

In addition to their own longevity, our tools also enable the repair of other products that would otherwise often be disposed of. This protects the environment and conserves scarce resources, making our tools doubly sustainable.

Development expertise

We develop and design ourselves. Always in the buzz. Close to practice and innovative. Every year, we expand our portfolio with attractive new products, problem solvers and innovations that are frequently greeted with enthusiasm among our users.

Manufacturing excellence

Our products are made in Germany with an in-house production share of more than 75%. We have modern, advanced production facilities in four plants in Germany with the latest technologies integrated into the production processes.

From the classic forge to ultra-modern CNC-controlled production units and so-called CoBots, i.e. collaborative robots.

This is what HAZET stands for – Our values

From the onset, we have focused on establishing and maintaining global partnerships based on trust. This includes understanding customer needs and problems. Personal dedication to our business friends is accompanied by the high standard of our products and services. We are convinced that honest and upright conduct in business dealings is the decisive factor behind long-term success.

Respect, personal appreciation, tolerance and trust form the basis of our cooperation. In addition, our motivation, individual responsibility and commitment lay the foundation that underpins our corporate success.

It is our declared objective to sustain, solidify and strengthen our leading position among tool manufacturers. To rise above any form of mediocrity. To become better and faster than the competition. The price-performance ratio of our products and their market acceptance are carefully considered. Our world-famous quality brand – HAZET – and its products as well as our services are a promise of performance to our customers.
As well as high product quality with outstanding user benefits, this performance promise also includes a high process quality in all departments and business processes.
It is only possible to continuously enhance the performance of our organization by consistently improving our processes, products and services.

We achieve this success through continuity coupled with a readiness for action. HAZET works with the target outcome in mind – to the benefit of customers and users alike.

Our processes, facilities and products are realized in a manner that ensures the health and safety of our staff are not adversely affected or put at risk, that our products do not pose any hazard to humans and the environment and that a careful approach to resources plus proactive environmental protection informs all our actions.

We are committed to Germany as a production location and we are continuously striving to expand our factories here. HAZET is aware that our activities include protecting the environment and saving energy as well as safeguarding the health and safety of individuals. We are convinced that sustainable, economic success can only be ensured if regulations and standards are followed. We stand for respectable, honest and compliant conduct in everyday business.

We take responsible precautions for emergencies to ensure the greatest possible protection for our employees and to avoid environmental impacts in the event of disruptions. We endeavour to invest in new, environmentally friendly technologies and materials within economically justifiable limits. To this end, we regularly assess the environmental impact of our operating activities, manufacturing processes and product developments.

The corporate policy is binding for our entire company, management and all employees. Regular internal and external audits are carried out in order to maintain the effectiveness of the management system in the long term.

Our history

HAZET was established in 1868 by Hermann Zerver. The brand name “HAZET” stems the initials of its founder, where the “H” (HA in German) stands for Hermann and the “Z” (ZET in German) for Zerver. HAZET is now a fifth generation family business. We have achieved a number of milestones together since the company was founded and are proud of where we are now.
