history

An awareness of tradition, many years of experience, highest quality requirements and customer satisfaction - these have been and still are the hallmarks of the Hamburg-based manufacturer of first-aid materials.

HANS HEPP GmbH & Co. KG, founded in Hamburg in 1936 by its namesake, as a medium-sized enterprise HEPP has always been one of the German forerunners in the field of first-aid equipment. It was the firm's founder Hans Hepp himself, who champoined the campaign for the inital equipping of passenger cars with first-aid boxes. In as early as 1965, three years before the newly decreed DIN standard for the carrying of first-aid boxes in cars in Germany, Hans Hepp convinced the automobile company Mercedes-Benz to equip their cars with HEPP first-aid boxes.
