>> HAIX® debuted its new look at FDIC 2012. Since the previous appearance with two logos repeatedly caused confusion among customers regarding exact brand identification, the two company symbols have been combined to from one common logo. The simultaneously developed, long-term umbrella brand strategy should guarantee brand recognition for decades and beyond, and provide continued healthy and profitable growth. With new planned product lines and creative further development of the existing sectors, growth is expected to continue in the double-digit percentage range, as in past financial years.www.haix.com.
