Background

In the 1990s, Alplas introduced the first-ever plastic eurohook to the range and we recognised the need for design improvements. The original square ended design, while functional, required enhancements to align with the changing demands of the market.

Design and In-House Manufacturing

The transition to round-ended hooks marked a significant improvement. The Alplas Merchandising Hook was designed with our CAD system and CNC machined in-house engineering department. Moulded ribs on the hook enhance its ability to secure merchandise during transit, ensuring optimal presentation at the point of sale.

The synergy between design and sales ensured that the resulting Alplas Merchandising Hook not only met aesthetic standards but also addressed the functional needs of retailers.
