Hadens’ Heritage
Haden has a rich and innovative history, with over 150 years of manufacturing experience. Originally a bicycle making business in the late 1880’s, A.H.Haden Motorcycles became ‘Haden Bros’ after Alfred’s sons Donald and Denis took over the business in 1937. They began producing tank parts for the British military during WWII and shortly after, began manufacturing kettles.
Humble Beginnings
Haden as we know it today was founded in 1958 after Denis created his own, separate company, D.H. Haden Ltd. to focus his efforts on manufacturing kettles.
Haden was one of the first brands to introduce colour and design on kettles, and this remains the primary focus of our brand. With a passion for quality manufacturing, attention to detail and a love for design, the brand's accomplishments and unique selling points live on to this day.
