Henry Hanger

The HENRY HANGER Company has been a garment hanger icon since 1929. The company is 3rd generation family run, operating in New York, New Hampshire, Los Angeles and with an additional factory overseas. Bernard Spitz, son of Henry, was born in 1919 and at 15 years old started selling hangers for the company, traveling the world representing the brand. Today, the executives are the grandchildren, Henry Spitz, President, Nancy Spitz Bittan, Executive Vice President and Astrid Spitz-Metsos, Executive Vice President. When most people think of garment hangers, they think of their closets. What they may not know is that one New York company set the stage for the evolution of garment hangers as we know them today. Henry Hanger, an American icon since 1929, saw the need for versatility and innovation in what was otherwise a basic category. Henry Spitz, the grandfather and founder of Henry Hanger Company, had a simple premise; why hang personal or expensive garments on wire hangers that can cause wrinkling or damage clothing? When visiting retail stores, Mr. Spitz realized that the right garment hanger could actually make garments look better and even improve sales. With foresight and determination, he presented this product concept to fine hotels and large retailers like JC Penney and Saks Fifth Avenue. The rest is history, a history of innovation and servicing fine retail department stores, hotels, and Hollywood's "A" list. Today, Henry Hanger remains top-of-mind among famous designers on New York's Fashion Avenue, celebrities, and chic boutiques across America. No American garment hanger brand spells quality and fashion more than Henry Hanger. From fine woods and non-slip items to sumptuous satins, to the company's own signature acrylic line, Henry Hanger is synonymous with style.
