100 years of DURABLE
Milestones in the success story
From the first clip folder to innovative modern work concepts: German brand manufacturer DURABLE has been impressing customers with pioneering workplace solutions for 100 years – both nationally and globally.
DURABLE – the name says it all. The idea behind the brand name been the company’s guiding vision for its entire 100-year history: Future-proof solutions for modern forms of work, enduring quality and award-winning design-products. Around the world, the way we work has changed significantly in the past 100 years. The classic office with a typewriter and carbon paper are just as much a thing of the past as transporting goods in carriages.
Computers, mobile devices and methods like Kaizen and agile working has changed the working environment just as much as the increasing flexibility in when and where we work. As a result, DURABLE currently offers a wide selection of modern workplace products for many different industries: from tablet holders to cable management systems, from mobile organisation to variable labelling and presentation concepts.
