The challenge

A key customer resource with room to work even harder.

Hiko Power Engineering is a trusted name in power solutions for industrial, commercial and residential customers. Its 'Product News' catalogue keeps clients up to date on innovations, technical tips and industry updates.

Hiko saw an opportunity to make key product information quicker to find, lift reader engagement, and match the catalogue to its polished, industry-leading image.

From a specification document to something that tells stories.

What we did

We started with Hiko's team, then redesigned the catalogue for clarity and engagement.

  1. Feedback first. We gathered feedback from Hiko’s team to understand their needs.
  2. Streamlined content. Content organised for clarity, with a table of contents and improved navigation.
  3. A modern, clean layout. Consistent typography, Hiko’s branding throughout, and space to showcase Hiko’s achievements.
  4. A bold new cover. High-quality visuals and a clear headline.
  5. Stories, not just specs. Dedicated sections for key products, plus technical insights and real-life success stories.

The outcome

A catalogue that tells stories, and strengthens Hiko's brand.

Readability

Stakeholders praised the improved readability.

Professional look

In line with Hiko's industry-leading image.
