From the HOPPE Company Profile

“Creativity is intelligent thinking against the norm”, the result being: “Different from and better than others”.

It’s these axioms which characterise the HOPPE Group. Approx. 2,600 employees in 9 plants in Europe and in the United States, along with worldwide distribution, ensure that the "Handle of Excellence" provides the the finishing touch to your interior decor.

Optimum benefit/price ratio

HOPPE is regarded as the market leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of door and window fitting systems for doors and windows in Europe. HOPPE’s key area of competence lies in the large-scale production of high quality architectural hardware at an optimum benefit/price-ratio. HOPPE hardware is neither cheap nor expensive, but good value for money.

Continual growth

Friedrich Hoppe founded a company for the manufacture of door hardware in Heiligenhaus near Düsseldorf, the traditional German centre of the lock and fittings industry in 1952. Two years later Friedrich Hoppe moved his company to Stadtallendorf near Marburg (Hesse), thereby laying the foundations for continual growth. In 1965 the company began to produce in Italy (in German-speaking South Tyrol). In 1989 HOPPE crossed the Atlantic to the United States. With the Fall of the Wall, HOPPE became actively engaged in contributing to the change to a free market economy in East Germany from 1990 onwards, taking over a state-owned plant in Crottendorf (Saxony) in 1991 and opening a new plant there in 1993. In order to remain competitive in the lower price area, HOPPE has been producing brass fittings in Chomutov in the Czech Republic since 1996. The HOPPE Group, now with intercontinental representation, is today led by Wolf Hoppe and Christoph Hoppe in the second generation in the company. The HOPPE Holding AG in Switzerland coordinates the worldwide activities of the Group. If you’d like to find out more about HOPPE, please ask for our company profile.
