Hammerbacher GmbH is a traditional German family business specializing in the development and manufacturing of office furniture. Since its founding in 1887, the small carpentry shop has evolved into a modern office furniture manufacturer with an international focus. Today, the company is led by the siblings Ursula and Bernhard Hammerbacher in the fifth generation, with the next generation, Andreas and Christoph Hammerbacher, already integrated into the business.
Company Philosophy and Values:
Hammerbacher's philosophy is based on several pillars:
- Quality "Made in Germany": Hammerbacher places great emphasis on the quality and durability of its products. The furniture is made using high-quality materials and undergoes strict quality controls. A high level of in-house production ensures that quality-relevant processing steps are kept in-house.
- Speed and Flexibility: A hallmark of Hammerbacher is fast delivery. About 97% of orders leave the logistics center in Neumarkt within 48 hours, making them one of the fastest suppliers in the office furniture trade.
- Ergonomics and Functionality: The focus of product development is on creating contemporary, flexible solutions for modern work environments. This includes ergonomic desks (often height-adjustable) and functional storage solutions designed to make everyday work more efficient and pleasant, promoting a healthy posture.
-
Sustainability and Environmental Awareness: Topics like "sustainability for future generations" and "sustainability" are deeply rooted in the company's philosophy. Hammerbacher focuses on:
- Exclusively using wood from responsible forestry (FSC®-certified).
- Minimizing waste and consistent waste separation.
- Using recycled materials (e.g., drawer inserts made from 100% recycled material).
- Energy self-sufficiency through its own photovoltaic systems, producing more than twice the energy needed. Excess electricity is fed into the grid.
- Heating production in Slovakia with its own wood waste.
- Regular review and improvement of environmental management (ISO 14001:2015 certified). Hammerbacher has been repeatedly awarded the FSC® Furniture Award.
