Meaning and History

Rockwool Logo History

The visual mark of the company is strong and constant, like a rock. It has not changed over the years. Its presumed appearance is after 1995 when the company received its present name and began to be traded on the stock exchange.

The image is represented by the logo and the name that follows it. The logo immediately lets the consumer know what material the company works with. Rockwool is a compound word: “rock” – stone, and “wool” – a yarn. In combination, it is literally “rock yarn” or mineral, rock wool.

What is Rockwool?

Danish manufacturer of mineral wool with an annual turnover of 3 billion euros. Includes several divisions: Rockfon, Rockpanel, Grodan, and Lapinus. The company was founded in 1909 by two partners, Henriksen and Kähler.

Powerful and bold font visually captures the essence of the name. Its letters are like sturdy stones, demonstrating the company’s strength, reliability, and confidence in the future. It can overcome all adversities and get ahead of the competition.

Only capital letters are used in writing, which gives the inscription even more weight and authority. In Europe, the company is the leader in producing mineral wool products.

Rockwool Symbol

To the right of the name is the emblem. It consists of a red square with two non-contiguous white trapezoids inside, forming a triangle. They represent:

  • A mountain. Each half of which symbolizes the stones – the basic material for the work. The mountain also alludes to the firm’s past, which began with rock mining.
  • Volcano. The distance between the trapezoids is reminiscent of the mouth of a volcano. The technology of absorbent cotton production was invented after the natural process of volcanic slag called Pele’s hair. When a volcano erupts, if a strong wind blows, it forms thin strands of rock. This method was used in manufacturing by directing a strong air current at the pouring molten mixture. To get absorbent cotton, the rocks initially have to be melted down to magma.
  • Two stages in the life of the company. Two halves of the figure as the two activities that Rockwool did (mining and wool production).
  • Thermal insulation. The emblem – as a construction in section. The inner red rod is hugged by wool particles that help keep the heat.
  • The roof of the house. One of the company’s original lines of business is the production of shingles.

The red square is a symbol of fire and heat, which are both necessary for producing the material and are the main purpose of using mineral wool. In addition, the square is the sign of the insulated panels produced by Rockwool.

The emblem precedes the inscription since the company began dealing in insulation materials long before it got its final name. Going public with the Rockwool name was the next stage in the company’s development, allowing it to conduct research and offer modern mineral wool solutions.
