The history of the symbol which represents ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS AG dates back to 1731. It was then that Johann Peter Henckels, a knife-maker based in Solingen, registered the "Twin"- symbol - now recognized throughout the world - as his trademark with the Cutlers’ Guild of Solingen. It is thus one of the oldest trademarks in the world.

Over 270 years have passed since the trademark was registered, years during which the company has achieved international status. Today products by ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS are recognized the world over as a symbol for the highest possible quality.
