We stand for innovation, expertise and quality

Over 120 skilled employees and 70 years of experience! That's the Friedrich Hippe family business. With this combination, we have developed into a sought-after partner for transport, traffic and safety technology. What sets us apart is the combination of customised development services, a high level of in-house certified vertical integration and service support including maintenance, repair and spare parts service.

In line with our motto "Everything from a single source!", we offer our customers complete support from development services, product development to series maturity and complete series production with comprehensive service support. Our customers value the in-depth expertise of our employees. Every developer and designer has extensive knowledge in the field of production technology, which is why our solutions are always designed with production in mind.

Our products are often used in safety-relevant applications in traffic and safety technology. This is why all our processes are certified and consistently monitored.

We see technological progress as an opportunity and not as a threat to our value creation processes. For us, progress in all processes is a guarantee for the long-term success of the company.

For long-term business success, you have to face up to your responsibility as a manufacturing company. This is not about a reduced pursuit of profit, but about the realisation that long-term growth and the existence of the company are only possible on a sustainable basis in conjunction with an intact environment and people who are prepared to make their contribution to the company's success.

We therefore clearly combine our corporate goals with the internationally recognised sustainability goals of the UN, which are summarised in the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We focus on topics that we can influence as a company - in particular the goals "Zero Hunger" (SDG 2), "Gender Equality" (SDG 5), "Clean Water and Sanitation" (SDG 6), "Affordable and Clean Energy" (SDG 7), "Decent Work and Economic Growth" (SDG 8), "Sustainable Consumption and Production" (SDG 12) and "Climate Action" (SDG 13). Our sustainability and environmental management are certified and controlled processes that are documented and managed by the ECOVADIS sustainability rating and certification in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001:2015.

We stand up for:

1. Sustainable growth
2. Effective climate protection
3. Sustainable procurement of our production materials
4. Resource-conserving and safe production
5. Motivated employees in a diverse working environment

Challenging and supporting our employees is part of our philosophy. We offer suitable development opportunities depending on individual skills. Young employees can also take on responsibility early on in our flat hierarchies. Continuous training and skills development are important to us and an important element of our company's success. We create and offer prospects. We offer qualified dual training programmes and internships for entry-level positions. We cooperate with local educational institutions and universities. Even a dual study programme is possible with us.

We gladly accept our role in the region as an important employer and training company. Our social commitment to regional associations and young people is a matter close to our hearts, which we are happy to fulfil. It goes without saying that we engage in dialogue with our stakeholders and communicate our sustainability and environmental goals. It is important to us that we make our regional contribution to society.

We offer no room for discrimination or intolerance. The individuality and personality of our employees are important to us. We endeavour to make our working models as flexible as possible in order to be able to accommodate the current life situation of our employees. Every employee's contribution is important to the company's success and is valued.
