About Hopbach
Hopbach Gravier- und Signiertechnik is a Solingen-based specialist for embossing and special tools with a company tradition dating back to 1921. The company manufactures the complete spectrum of marking technology: embossing tools for presses, punching lines and special machines, embossing stamps, hand stamps, branding stamps for wood and leather as well as sheet-metal embossing tools for automatic presses and CNC punching machines. In addition, Hopbach performs contract embossing of sheet metal and cans – including circumferential embossing on finished cans – as well as subsequent embossing of punched, laser-cut and milled parts with serial numbers, logos and codes. Manufacturing is CNC-controlled from high-strength tool steels, specialty steels and brass; tool hardening (heat treatment) is carried out in-house. Design, hardening and production are located at one site in Solingen; an own material warehouse enables short delivery times. Customers come among others from the automotive industry, plant engineering, drive technology, toolmaking, forging, rolling mills and special machinery construction; deliveries are made throughout Germany and internationally.
