HOPPE

The HOPPE Group In 1952, Friedrich Hoppe founded a company for the manufacture of door hardware in Heiligenhaus near Düsseldorf, the former heartland of Germany’s lock and hardware industry. In 1954 he moved the business to Stadtallendorf (north of Frankfurt) and in so doing laid the foundation for continual growth. Today, the HOPPE Group, an internationally active company with its Headquarters in Switzerland, is led by Wolf Hoppe and Christoph Hoppe in its second generation. With more than 2,600 people it employs in seven plants in Europe and the USA as well as its international marketing, the owner-run HOPPE family business is the European leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of hardware systems for doors and windows.
