Foppe+Foppe: Our Products Need to be Experienced First-Hand

Bar ohne Namen
Entschlossen verweigert sich Savage, der Bar einen Namen zu geben. Stattdessen sind drei klassische Design-Symbole das Logo der Trinkstätte in Dalston: ein gelbes Quadrat, ein rotes Viereck, ein blauer Kreis. Am meisten wurmt den sympathischen Franzosen dabei, dass es kein Gelbes-Dreieck-Emoji gibt. Das erschwert auf komische Weise die Kommunikation. Der Instagram Account lautet: a_bar_with_shapes-for_a_name und anderenorts tauchen die Begriffe ‘Savage Bar’ oder eben ‚Bauhaus Bar‘ auf.
Für den BCB bringt Savage nun sein Barkonzept mit und mixt für uns mit Unterstützung von Russian Standard Vodka an der perfekten Bar dazu.
Klaus Middendorp, Head of Sales at Foppe+Foppe on ALUMINIUM 2024
For years, ALUMINIUM has been a staple in our communication strategy. It’s critically important for us to be present for our customers. Showcasing new products, engaging with customers and other market participants, and driving business forward—ALUMINIUM provides an excellent platform for all these activities.
Since the last ALUMINIUM event, we have significantly developed our product and service offerings, particularly in the small and special parts manufacturing sector. Additionally, we have new products and solutions in the field of connector technology that we are eager to present to our customers. We want to display all this at the trade fair because our products need to be experienced first-hand. Only then can one truly appreciate the quality of our craftsmanship. In face-to-face discussions, we can also talk about bespoke solutions—we have recently expanded our machinery. This allows us to efficiently and cost-effectively realise a wide range of custom solutions, even in batch size one. This can only be conveyed through direct interaction.
As previously mentioned, connector technology is a major focus for us. We have been expanding this area for years due to high demand. Our latest development is a T-connector for rectangular and square tubes. We will also demonstrate what is possible in the realm of small and special parts manufacturing. Here, the goal is to showcase our expertise and convey to customers that they can come to us with any requirement—we will find a suitable solution together.
We are very optimistic about the future. With the aforementioned expansions in our machinery and the expertise of our employees, combined with our goal to penetrate new markets with our solutions, we are on a promising path. We also emphasise giving our customers choices, from corner and T-connectors or small components to fully assembled frames or modules.
Many different industries—such as metalworking, machinery, window and façade construction, vehicle manufacturing, and even furniture making—rely on the use or processing of aluminium. All these sectors face various challenges. We see it as our mission to support our customers with the appropriate solutions and extensive know-how to overcome these challenges.
A major theme will be creating economical solutions for large quantities through automation, while not neglecting the cost-effectiveness for smaller quantities. Speaking for ourselves, we will continue to focus on our openness to innovative solutions and maximum flexibility—all in the interest of our customers.
We also hope to increase our recognition outside the industries we are already active in and to penetrate further markets with our existing products and ideas as well as new solutions. At the trade fair, we will also visualise this to initiate discussions with customers.
