100 million Euro sales record: Hoffmann Holding achieves its best result in Baden-Württemberg since the company's founding
Achim, 9th January 2012 – At the end of 2011 the Hoffmann Group, Europe’s leading system partner for quality tools, achieves a sales record of 100 mil-lion Euro at its Baden-Württemberg location. The tooling experts, with head-quarter in Munich, have committed themselves in South-West Germany with 102 employees since 2008, and they envisage further growth. Here, too, the company offers its customers the full product range of 50,000 quality tools from 500 worldwide leading manufacturers, including its own premium brand GARANT. The range covers cutting and clamping technology, metrology, grinding and cutting, hand tools, workshop accessories as well as worksta-tions and storage equipment.
With this sales record the Hoffmann Group can continue its streak of success in the land of "inventors and explorers": Already in the middle of last year the Robert Bosch GmbH certified the company as a preferred supplier. "Some of our most important customers are based in Baden-Württemberg", affirms the chief executive officer, Bert Bleicher. "In order to be present in the region, we therefore decided three years ago to increase our investment here". The Hoffmann Group employs Europe's most modern logistics systems to guarantee absolute reliability and top delivery accuracy. For Bosch, these unique characteristics were central to granting the certificate.
That the Hoffmann Group is highly committed to the success of their customers can be seen at the regular events taking place in the technical forum: Here, the company presents the latest materials with the matching machining strategies, and offers training seminars with the content specially tailored for apprentices, users, craftsmen, technicians or instructors.
As an employer, the Hoffmann Group is unusually committed to their employees. "We care that our employees organise their energies efficiently, and we put a high value on well-balanced health care management – sensible eating and doing sports are part of everyday life in our offices", reports Bert Bleicher on the company culture.
This year the Hoffmann Group seeks to steadily grow further in the Baden-Württemberg region. A first step towards this aim is the takeover of KB Knecht GmbH, a manufacturer of workstations and storage, at the beginning of 2012. All jobs will be preserved, and even further recruitment is envisaged. "Next to Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg is the German region where we see the greatest potential for the new business year", says Bert Bleicher.
