KUPFER
Family business

The Kupfer company has been a successful family business for over 100 years. The management board and employees represent our company just as much as its owner family. Our good name is a source of pride for every single one of us. It stands for responsibility and obligation at the same time.

We observe what’s happening in the market, recognise trends early on and put them into practice as quickly and effectively as possible. We also want to set new trends with our creativity. We are open to trying new things and ask our employees to come up with new ideas. Nothing is as old as yesterday’s success.

Our customers are the reason why we exist. We always focus on their needs. We deal with all customer requirements quickly and simply. Customer satisfaction is our guiding principle. We respect each and every customer request and aim to fulfil them as quickly as possible. We want to expand on this competitive advantage.

Our customers expect 100% supply capability. We do everything we can to meet this expectation. The higher our supply capability, the clearer our competitive advantage is. Maintaining our supply capability is a key task in all areas. Our company virtuously adheres to deadlines.

Anyone who demands something must also encourage it to happen. That's why our aim is to motivate, qualify and support our employees on a permanent basis. Our employees bring our company to life. We promote the effort, ability, ideas and personal development of each individual. This creates a high level of employee satisfaction, a good working environment and mutual success.

We feel committed to future generations and accept our responsibility for people and nature. With the aim of being a more sustainable company, we use technologies that protect the environment and conserve resources. We ensure the well-being of our employees through our active health and occupational safety management system. We follow the ambitious targets that we have set ourselves and remain committed to them.

Our customers expect consistently high quality. We only supply products that meet this demand. Our aim is that consumers all over the world can enjoy our products and for this to happen, our clearly-defined quality standards have to be followed 100% by all employees.

In this way, we can meet the QA criteria for processing and the requirements of the International Food Standards (IFS).
Regulatory requirements are minimum standards for us and we frequently exceed them, both when it comes to the selection of raw materials and in production and sales. We have been certified many times by international certificates for food safety, for example.

Our quality and hygiene standards meet the highest international requirements. This is confirmed by internationally recognised certifications as well as our export licenses for many countries all over the world. Our high standards for our products obviously apply to all of our sites. That’s why our production sites in Heilsbronn, Nuremberg and Günthersleben have also been officially certified.

Our success is based on open cooperation. It creates a good working environment and contributes towards everyone’s satisfaction. Comments from our employees are always received positively and carefully examined. A fair and motivated tone is a matter of course.

Reliability creates trust and trustworthiness guarantees a successful future. We always keep our promises. We aim to ensure our company’s trustworthiness to our customers, employees and the public through open and trusting relationships with each other.

The principle of economic efficiency applies to all corporate divisions. Only a company that is working efficiently and economically can maintain a competitive edge. Economical use of materials, energy and time is an important prerequisite for our shared success. Unnecessary costs and any kind of waste damage our company.
