Twelve years after joining the company, Christian is following in the path of his father, Wolf Hoppe, and his uncle, Christoph Hoppe, who have successfully jointly led and consistently developed the company for over 35 years, continuing the legacy of their father, Friedrich Hoppe. Both Wolf and Christoph Hoppe will remain involved in the company with positions on the Board of HOPPE Holding AG, headquartered in M\u00fcstair, Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolf Hoppe, Vice President of the Board: \u2018I\u2019m extremely glad that my son Christian will continue to combine continuity and change, a pursuit that shaped my work at the company, in which I\u2019ve been active for over 45 years. I know that our value-based and purpose-oriented leadership will guide his decisions as well as mine, and that he will be able to master the continuous change required in company operations on this basis.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christoph Hoppe, President of the Board: \u2018During my time at the company \u2013 over 35 years \u2013 I\u2019ve always viewed the commitment and innovative strength of our employees as a cornerstone of our success. Our employees were, and remain, the decisive competitive \u2018factor\u2019 for HOPPE&#8217;s ongoing success story. A story that has been written by my father, my brother and me over the course of seven decades with a view to durability and sustainability. Christian has accompanied us and contributed to the work done by my brother and me for over twelve years. Now, I\u2019m looking forward to taking on a strategic function on the Board and to further contributing my experience in a close dialogue with the Board of the HOPPE Group.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christian Hoppe, CEO of the HOPPE Group: \u2018The trust placed in me by my family for taking on this responsibility means a great deal to me. The other members of the Steering Committee and I plan to do everything to secure and increase the survivability of the HOPPE Group in the long term together with our roughly 2,300 employees around the world. Despite the uncertainty the construction industry is facing, our family-run company is committed to continued growth.\u2019<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>The HOPPE Group is the global market leader for the development, production and marketing of door and window hardware.
