Successful business model

The Höft & Wessel Group supplies product and system solutions to enhance general levels of efficiency. With its Almex, Metric and Skeye business divisions largely operating independently, the Company has been successfully engaged in many and various markets for years. The three mainstays reduce the level of dependency on specific market segments and ensure successful long-term development of the group of companies.

External production, a modular structure of products with open IT platforms and small teams ensure a high degree of flexibility. Some 170 highly qualified engineers and IT specialists develop innovative products and customer solutions that are absolutely state-of-the-art in the market. Project teams serve to ensure successful implementation.

This business model has enabled the Höft & Wessel Group to acquire many customers of note. Numerous follow-up orders reflect the confidence customers have developed in the company and the quality of the products and solutions on offer.

As early as 1878, the Bell Punch Company was established – the predecessor to today‘s Metric Group. 100 years later, the two students Michael Höft and Rolf Wessel founded the company of the same name. Following its IPO, in 1999 Höft & Wessel AG took over the British Metric Group. The three business divisions have shaped the solid business development of this member company of the Höft & Wessel Group ever since. While sales revenues have almost doubled in relation to 1999, the size of the workforce (500 employees) has remained unchanged.
