DOVO dating in Solingen, Merkur Solingen

The German company DOVO Solingen celebrated its centenary in 2006 together with its subsidiary Merkur Solingen .

Its products include professional hairdressing scissors, manicure scissors, shaving supplies, manicure sets.

The DOVO company started with the production of razors with thirteen employees. A law passed in 1938 to protect the name Solingen gave it more pride and a sense of security for the trademark, as well as an even greater sense of local identity.

The company chose a knight with a sword and a hammer as its emblem, which vigorously penetrated the markets in Western Europe and North America.

Thanks to the mass introduction of the electric shaver, the management of the DOVO company is looking for a second source of income, so it starts producing hair scissors. At that time, the company's technicians personally went around the hairdressing salons in Solingen and found out from the hairdressers which scissors would be most suitable for them.

When young developers came in 1951, the production of scissors began to be a huge success, and DOVO was once again entering the markets in North (later South) America and Western Europe, but this time with scissors.

Thanks to the success of the scissors, the company establishes a subsidiary, Merkur Solingen, to produce shaving supplies that are a worldwide success and that open up new markets for the company in Asia, especially in Russia and the Arabian Peninsula.

All products of the companies DOVO and Merkur Solingen are originals made in Solingen, Germany, famous for the highest quality European steel.
