Английская Википедия:DOVO Solingen
DOVO Solingen, DOVO Steelware, or simply DOVO, is an independent German company, based in Solingen ("The City of Blades[1]"). They are a manufacturer of scissors, shaving equipment such as straight razors and safety razors, as well as manicure tools.[2] DOVO was founded in 1906. The name derives from the last names of the original founders Carl Dorp + Carl Arthur Voos.[3] Starting from 1950s onwards, DOVO has acquired multiple companies such as Tennis (1952), Bismarck (1957), "Ankerflagge" (1957), "Teufelskerle" (1968). "Kronpunkt" (1969), Fontana (1970), Heups & Hermes company (1973)
As of 31 December 2001, the company employed 86 staff who produced a daily output of 1200 scissors, 900 nippers, and 150 open razors and shavers. 75% of these products were exported to other countries while the remaining 25% were sold in Germany.[4] Since the early 2000s, the company has seen an increase in demand and, as of 2016, produced tens of thousands of razors a year, with 20 employees working exclusively on razor production.[5]
Since 2013, DOVO moved towards focusing mainly on their shaving products and introducing a new range of straight razors.[6]
