and whole series with the same high quality. “With a workforce of around 180, an 18,000 sq m production area and the very latest CAD, CAM and CNC facilities, even our series products can offer tailor-made perfection,” says Hasenkopf explaining that his customers can enjoy all the advantages of industrial production, such as fast order processing, efficiency and just-in-time delivery.


TRADITONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP “We are proud of our origins and our roots in traditional craftsmanship, because only a company that applies workmanlike precision and attention to detail to even the most unusual individual order can also offer perfection in its series production and remain flexible with it,” he says. But whilst Hasenkopf excels at what


is does and is consistently the industrial manufacturer of choice for some of the world’s most celebrated designers and architects, Roland Hasenkopf explains that the company itself has no desire to take on the responsibility for coming up with the designs that consistently push the boundaries of their production capabilities. “As we showed with our Design Characters series, we have so many very good contacts who are renowned architects and designers so we don’t need to set up our own design department and in fact this would probably be the


wrong decision for us,” says Hasenkopf. “Of course we have people in our team who are able to understand and cooperate with designers and we work with the same CAD programs as they do for example. But we see ourselves more as promoting these state-of- the-art techniques to the designers and we try to improve our skills day by day, but it cannot be our aim to do their job.” Whilst designers and architects continue


to produce ever more innovative and creative designs, Hasenkopf will undoubtedly be right there waiting for the next challenge and offering its extensive expertise and experience in industrial production to help these designers realize the concepts that would otherwise remain a figment of their imagination. designer
