DURABLE's Double Celebration
The office supplies manufacturer DURABLE has risen to the highest ranks among German brands and is celebrating its 90th year in operation. DURABLE was founded in 1920, by Karl Hunke and Wilhelm Jochheim in the Westphalian city of Iserlohn. The company initially produced metal tabs, but soon other office products were added. With the invention of the DURACLIP® clip file 51 years ago, the brand conquered the hearts and markets both nationally and internationally and was here to stay. DURABLE was described as having charisma - a view also held by the renowned jury of the "Deutsche Standards (German Standards)" publishing house. In 2009, the editors, together with an advisory committee of recognised brand experts, nominated DURABLE and the DURACLIP® as "Brand of the Century".
