About Hüpeden & Co.

Hüpeden & Co. (GmbH & Co.) KG is an international trading house founded in Hamburg in 1918 with product focuses in the areas of food and textile fabrics. The company sees itself as a foreign trade merchant and manages the entire lifecycle of the goods: from product development and optimization through manufacturing or procurement within a worldwide supplier network to logistics, interim storage and process optimization. In the food sector, the portfolio includes, among other things, canned food; in the textiles sector, grey fabrics and fabrics of all kinds as well as fashion articles. Two independent subsidiary companies in China (Xiamen and Shanghai) as well as representations in Europe, Africa and Asia ensure proximity to the markets of origin. Quality assurance is carried out through a certified quality management system with IFS Broker certification, its own inspections at partner companies' facilities and testing by independent external laboratories. Customers are located mainly in Europe; markets in Asia, Africa, Oceania and South America are also supplied.
