Zoo Hardware Celebrates 15 Years of Growth and Innovation

Leading hardware brand Zoo brought staff together in November to celebrate15 years of growth and innovation, while looking ahead to 2025 and beyond.

The brand, which has grown from a small operation in Carlisle with just three employees in a porta-cabin to become part of the global Quanex family, has built a strong reputation as a leading designer and supplier of architectural hardware, thanks to its innovative products and commitment to quality and service.

2024 has seen Zoo Hardware launch a number of new products including the industry-first ZHSSFH-243 flush hinges, which can be installed up to three times faster than traditional butt hinges.

It has also built a partnership with Secured by Design, the official police security initiative working to improve the security of buildings, while welcoming new members to the team, such as Sales Manager Hayley Cotterill and Procurement Director Steven Holt.

The Zoo Hardware team came together at its Cumbria base to mark the brand’s 15 year anniversary, with Angela Griffin, Head of Marketing, reflecting on the brand’s growth and future.

They said:

“Reaching this milestone is a testament to the dedication of our staff, the loyalty of our customers, and the strong partnerships we’ve built over the years.

 

“Zoo is a dynamic, resilient and growing business which architectural ironmongers and specifiers can rely on to deliver a seamless experience, whether its specification guidance from our GAI qualified team or effective aftersales support.

 

“We pride ourselves on bringing product innovations to market that are built on extensive technical expertise and challenge the norm when it comes to aesthetics, functionality and performance.

 

“There is more to come in 2025, with new products, initiatives and faces coming on board to help set the tone for many more incredible years of Zoo.”
