Our Profile
As an owner-managed family business, we operate all over the world. We are regarded as the European market leader in the development, production and marketing of door handles and window handles. We see ourselves as a global competence leader.
Successful Since 1952
The history of HOPPE dates back to 1952, when Friedrich HOPPE founded his company in Heiligenhaus near Düsseldorf. The pioneer laid the foundation for us as a third-generation family business to be the market leader in Europe we are today. Around 2,200 employees worldwide are working to ensure that the company remains successful in the future
We are committed to our roots
and we are growing in new dimensions.
Family Business for Generations
Friedrich Hoppe officially handed over the management of the company to his sons Wolf and Christoph Hoppe in 1992. They successfully continued the founder’s journey for decades. In 2014, the family set out their intention to continue HOPPE as a family business in a charter. In 2025, the operational leadership of the HOPPE Group was entrusted to Christian Hoppe, who is now the third generation to lead the company.
Thinking in generations ensures
that the company will continue to survive in the long-term.
