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.
According to HOPPE, a brand name product keeps its promise of quality to the enduser. As a way of ensuring this, HOPPE gives a 10-year guarantee on the mechanical operation of all door and window handles
