HOPPECKE is the largest privately owned manufacturer of industrial batteries in Europe. Born in Sauerland, at home worldwide: With its headquarters in Brilon and 22 international subsidiaries, HOPPECKE employs more than 2,000 people and runs one of the largest research and development departments in the industry in Europe.
The company’s vision „Enabling electric power for everyone and everywhere“ is based on the conviction that the availability and security of electricity is one of the most important social requirements and challenges of our time.
With a current focus on industrial applications, HOPPECKE energy storage systems enable electromobility in logistics, rail and metro systems and make a contribution to reducing Co2 emissions and protecting the planet for future generations. Without grid backup from energy storage systems, there would be no digitalization and automation. In regions without grid connections, HOPPECKE energy storage systems enable access to electricity and thus to education, medical care and water by temporarily storing renewable energies.
The commitment of HOPPECKE employees is at the heart of all activities to produce and market meaningful products. The company invests in their development and creates a motivating working environment in which personal responsibility and creativity are encouraged in order to deliver top entrepreneurial performance on a daily basis.
