About Wippermann
Founded in 1893 by Wilhelm Wippermann in Hagen, Germany, Wippermann began with a mission to create superior bicycle chains, a goal sparked by the repeated failure of his son's bicycle chain. This foundational commitment to quality and innovation has been the driving force behind the company's evolution from a small, family-run business into a leading international manufacturer of industrial chains and sprockets. Now in its fifth generation of family ownership, Wippermann continues to build on its rich heritage of German engineering and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
The founder's vision was to create not just a product, but a solution. This vision has resulted in a comprehensive product portfolio that includes a wide range of high-performance roller chains, leaf chains, and accumulator chains, as well as customized sprockets and other drive components. Wippermann's products are essential for a diverse array of industries, including automotive manufacturing, food and beverage, and logistics, where they are trusted for their durability, reliability, and precision.
From its headquarters in Germany, Wippermann has cultivated a strong global presence. With a worldwide distribution network and a commitment to "Made in Germany" quality, the company serves a broad international clientele. This global reach, combined with a focus on providing both standard and custom-engineered solutions, ensures that Wippermann remains a trusted and leading partner in the global market for drive and conveyor technology.
