Hoppe is a family owned group of companies with global presence and activities focused and dedicated to the maritime market. Passion for Technology has been the key of success in seven decades of permanent motivation to deliver customer-oriented products and services.

Starting with the business idea to deliver precise instruments and measuring equipment for seagoing vessels Hoppe Bordmesstechnik was founded in 1949 by the German engineer Hans Hugo Karl Hoppe. After 35 years characterized by many technical inventions and patents for on board measuring systems his colleague Jürgen Haas took over the company. Four years later Helmut Rohde joined the company and finally acquired the remaining shares in 1997.

Besides many years of organic growth, the Rohde family invested in further maritime markets to follow the globalization of the shipbuilding business. In 1997, Hoppe Korea was established, followed by Hoppe China in 2010, and Hoppe Singapore in 2017. In parallel, strategic investments where taken with the acquisitions of Meramont Automatyka (Poland), MAIHAK Marine (Germany), Flume Stabilization (USA) and INTERING ship stabilization systems (Germany). Combined with many new inventions and patents the fully independent family owned company has established a leading position in several maritime business areas.

The Passion for Technology is still unbroken and remains dedicated to quality, accuracy and reliability. In-house engineers design all Hoppe products in Germany with the full technical control over the portfolio. For shipyards, ship owners, ship managers, ship operators and ship designers Hoppe is well known in the market as reliable long-term partner that combines decades of engineering know how, sustainable on board experiences with continuous development of new technologies and innovations. Based on the strategic product- and service-focus approach Hoppe is a key player also in the digitalization process of the marine industry.
