JOPP aims to remain a family-owned and family-managed company in the long term, making decisions independently of financial investors and lenders.
To achieve this, products and production processes must be continuously developed and improved. JOPP's goal is to provide customers with valuable, reliable and innovative solutions. Profitability is therefore a key objective guiding the company's business activities.
JOPP firmly believes that this goal can only be achieved through competent, efficient and committed employees who take responsibility and collaborate across hierarchical and departmental boundaries – both internally and with customers, suppliers and other partners.
JOPP considers a culture of recognition and appreciation essential, particularly in light of the cost, delivery and quality pressures imposed by major customers in the automotive industry.
JOPP sees flexibility and short time-to-market as key competitive advantages and aims to maintain them through minimal bureaucracy and flat hierarchies. At the same time, customers can rely on standardized core processes that meet the requirements of modern quality management.
Through responsible and sustainable business practices, JOPP aims to strengthen its long-term reliability. This includes taking into account the interests of employees and their families, as well as the responsible use of natural resources.
JOPP has established a structured system of objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs), actively involving employees in defining and achieving these goals. To promote a culture of appreciative leadership, JOPP has developed a set of leadership principles through a collaborative process.
