The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
C.H. Hanson was founded in 1923 in Chicago. The founder built the brand on marking tools. They made stencils first, then expanded to chalk, paint markers, and metal stamps. The company became known for industrial-grade marking solutions that held. Their products appeared on construction sites, factories, and job sites everywhere. Today Hanson operates across North America and beyond. The brand ranks twenty-ninth in Tools, DIY & Home Improvement categories. It appears in tracking data across six thousand six hundred forty-nine brands. Workers still reach for their markers when precision matters most.
