Tools for Generations Since 1866
Fifth-generation, family-owned, and still driven by the same purpose since 1866.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
C.H. Hanson has been a privately held, family-owned company since 1866. Now in its fifth generation of Hanson family leadership, the company designs and manufactures marking tools, metal stamps, industrial stencils, metal tags, layout tools, and safety products trusted across construction, manufacturing, utilities, municipal contracting, and beyond. Wherever something is being built, there is a need for a reliable hand tool, and C.H. Hanson has been answering that call for over 160 years. To learn more about our full history, visit The C.H. Hanson Story.
MISSION AND VISION
Our mission is simple: "Tools for Generations to God's Glory."
That means building products people need, want, and can rely on to do their best work, while also building something larger. We are committed to growing internal and external communities, deepening relationships with our customers and vendors, and becoming truly irreplaceable to the people we serve. At C.H. Hanson, the future is bright because our purpose goes well beyond the products we make.
OUR VALUES
Everything we do at C.H. Hanson is guided by four core values.
Get it Done We approach work with a can-do attitude. We do what it takes to overcome obstacles, and we show up as a team willing to lend a hand wherever it is needed.
Get it Right We strive for excellence in everything we do. We practice continuous improvement to keep getting better, and when we make a mistake, we own it and make it right.
Give Back We actively look for ways to help and serve others, from the people we work alongside to the broader communities around us. We encourage our employees to volunteer their time in community service.
Give Grace People are valuable and worthy of dignity and respect. We lead with compassion and extend forgiveness when someone falls short of expectations.
WHAT SETS US APART
C.H. Hanson is defined by three things:
- Culture of genuine customer service and care
- A company foundation rooted in Christian values
- Our commitment to integrating real customer input directly into our product designs
We do not just want to be a good company. We want to be a great one, where every person on the team knows they are participating in something bigger than themselves.
