Welcome to Hardox Wearparts Dear Hardox Wearparts company, It is a great thing for you, and us, that you have decided to join the Hardox Wearparts network. You will now be able to display the brand that managers in after markets services and machine repairs worldwide trust and ask for. As a Hardox Wearparts company you have the right to use the Hardox Wearparts signs as the guarantee of geniune Hardox in your communication as well as on your wear parts. Both the Hardox and Hardox Wearparts brand enjoy high recognition and uniqueness and is therefore a valuable asset that SSAB is set to protect. Accordingly, a third-party use of our brand always requires a licensing agreement, the Hardox Wearparts Trademark Agreement. We have also developed this set of guidelines. And we are confident that you will apply and credit the Hardox and Hardox Wearparts brand names and logotypes in accordance with what is presented in this document. If ever in doubt of how to apply the guidelines please do not hesitate to contact SSAB, we are always here to assist you. When planning extensive campaign activities we ask to receive creative examples before producing your material. In both cases, please contact your local SSAB representative, or call +46 155 25 40 00, you can also send an e-mail to: hardoxwearparts@ssab.com.

Co-branding Credential signs The Hardox Wearparts credential sign is designed to communicate the collaboration between Hardox Wearparts and its partner companies as well as the benefits of using Hardox Wearparts. The credential sign consists of the logotype and a short explanatory text in your local language. The sign is to be used when there is a need to explain what Hardox Wearparts means on a very limited space. The credential sign is complementary to the normal logotype, and is not replacing it. As a member of the Hardox Wearparts network, you are welcome to use the logotype and the credential sign. However, displaying the Hardox Wearparts logotype in a manner that suggests that your product is developed by Hardox or SSAB, is prohibited.
