2020
To strengthen the Knorr-Bremse brand a uniform look across the Group has been created resulting in the Knorr-Bremse’s current portfolio of separately evolved brands into a cutting-edge brand architecture with the Knorr-Bremse figurative mark, the font and the blue color across all major company brands. The goal is to strengthen the brand recognition by establishing a clear visual association with the corporate brand and to reinforce the perception of each individual company following our new brand values Innovative, Leading and Reliable. The re-branding for “Microelettrica Scientifica” foresees the adaption of the existing logo and shortening the brand name to “Microelettrica”
