The beginnings of JOPP date back to 1919, when the Theodor Jopp KG, a company for manufacturing bicycle parts and agricultural equipment, was founded. Since the majority takeover of the company by Dr.-Ing. Hubert P. Büchs in 1991, JOPP has been owned by the Büchs family.
With the expansion of its automotive business, the establishment and expansion of new locations, and the development of its own product development department, JOPP has grown continuously and now generates sales of around €170 million with over 1,400 employees worldwide. The company has its own locations in Europe, Asia and America.
