The report provides an overview of key developments during the 2025 reporting year and sets out key performance indicators relating to the environment, employees and corporate governance. A key focus was the further development of WISKA’s sustainability strategy. For the first time, the report also includes key performance indicators from WISKA UK Ltd.

“Effectively embedding sustainability means defining clear goals, establishing responsibilities and reporting on progress in a transparent manner. Our 2025 report shows how we are putting this into practice at WISKA,” says Elske Kelm, Sustainability Officer at WISKA.

The achievement marks a major milestone for the company, which has progressed from its first EcoVadis assessment to Gold level in just three years. This rating places WISKA among the top 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide at the time of rating.

EcoVadis evaluates organisations across four key areas: environment, ethics, labour & human rights, and sustainable procurement, providing an independent benchmark of environmental and social impact across operations and supply chains.

For WISKA, sustainability is embedded within the company’s culture and long-term strategy. The organisation continues to focus on balancing economic performance, environmental responsibility and social impact, supported by strong environmental management practices and continuous improvement across the business.

Tanja Hoppmann, General Manager and Head of Sustainability at WISKA Hoppmann GmbH, said:

“We are incredibly proud that our efforts to make WISKA more sustainable have been recognised with the EcoVadis Gold medal. This achievement means a great deal to us because it reflects the dedication and commitment of colleagues across the entire WISKA team around the world. Sustainability is something we work on every day, and we strongly believe that innovation plays a key role in creating better, more responsible solutions for our industry. This recognition motivates us to keep pushing forward, continuing to innovate and improving the way we operate.”

The EcoVadis Gold rating reinforces WISKA’s commitment to continuous improvement and responsible business practices.

We say goodbye to a beloved mother and grandmother who was not only the heart of the family, but also a formative part of the family business. As a longtime managing director and shareholder of WISKA, she helped shape the company over many years with her values and commitment. She lives on in our memories and stories – as a role model and inspiration.

“For us, sustainability is not an add-on, but an integral part of our corporate strategy,” explains Tanja Hoppmann, Managing Director of WISKA Hoppmann GmbH. “With this report, we want to show how we balance ecological, economic, and social responsibility.” 

WISKAs strategy is based on three key areas of action: 

Responsibility for the environment: Measures to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and to strengthen the circular economy. Responsibility for employees: Promotion of attractive working conditions, health, safety, and further training. Corporate responsibility: Transparent corporate governance and responsible action along the supply chain. 

The company is publishing a sustainability report for the first time in accordance with the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs (VSME). Participation is voluntary – but for WISKA, it is a clear commitment to responsible action and transparency. 

In the reporting year, WISKA implemented numerous initiatives, including:

• Bicycle leasing for employees to promote sustainable mobility.
• The development of a guideline for sustainable procurement and other internal guidelines.
• Introduction of bioplastics: The KA-BIO product range consists of renewable raw materials instead of fossil-based ones. 
• Calculation of the product carbon footprint of the first products and development of the first products with significantly lower PCF (cradle-to-gate).

Despite a 10% increase in sales, energy consumption was reduced by 9% and Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 5%. These results underscore the company's commitment to climate protection and the continuous improvement of existing processes.

A particular milestone was the award of the silver medal by EcoVadis. This places WISKA among the top 8% of all companies assessed worldwide. 

“With the VSME report, we want to make visible what we stand for as a company: responsible action, measurable progress, and a willingness to continuously develop,” emphasizes Elske Kelm, Sustainability Officer at WISKA.  

“We are convinced that sustainability and economic success are not mutually exclusive, but rather mutually dependent,” adds Tanja Hoppmann. “With our first report in accordance with the VSME standard, we are making this claim visible.”

"It is a pleasure for us to see HSV in the 1. Bundesliga and to be able to be part of it. For us, this col-laboration is a strong sign of our connection to the north of Germany and our roots in Hamburg,‘ says Ronald Hoppmann, Managing Director of WISKA Hoppmann GmbH, which he runs together with his sister Tanja Hoppmann in the third generation. ’Many of our employees are loyal HSV fans who are enthusiastic about football and team sports. That's why we not only want to show our presence, but also create experiences: in the stadium, with our customers and for our employees and their families."

A clear commitment to Hamburg and the region
WISKA was founded in Hamburg in 1919 and is now firmly rooted in the north, with its headquarters in Kaltenkirchen. The partnership with HSV is an expression of this regional connection and the val-ues shared by both sides: team spirit, passion and consistency. For WISKA, this commitment is more than just sponsorship: it is an emotional commitment to Ham-burg, to the north of Germany and to the people who live and work here. ‘This partnership underlines our brand value of “ together”. Football is a team sport that brings people together – and that matches with our culture,’ adds Kristina Wilkens, Head of Marketing.

Outlook
As part of the partnership, plans include a presence at home games, events at the Volksparkstadion, competitions and joint content for the HSV and WISKA channels. In addition, WISKA also wants to offer employees and customers special experiences related to HSV – from free tickets to games to visiting the stadium together. As a family-oriented company, it is important to WISKA to involve not only its employees but also their families.

WISKA presents: the future of cable glands - TriShot®!
The TriShot ® is more than a cable gland, it is the result of continued drive to push boundries and possibilities. To be a pioneer and lead the way in 3 core principles: Innovation, Sustainability and Performance.
This cable gland is designed to perform. IP68 protection with or without cable/blind plug, quick installation, large clamping range (6 - 14 mm), built in seal, i.e. no inserts required and any cable type is sealed and with an impressive 54% reduction in product carbon footprint compared to conventional cable glands, the TriShot ® has an excellent sustainability performance.

Same quality, new origin: The WISKA KA series made from BIO-plastics!
The first product range from WISKA made from plastics that are no longer of fossil origin but are manufactured from renewable raw materials, so-called bioplastics. During their growth phase, the raw materials of these plastics absorb CO² and bind it throughout their utilisation phase. When our bioplastic products are used to generate energy at the end of their life cycle, they release only as much CO² as the plants used to make the raw material previously absorbed. The target is a closed CO² cycle that conserves limited resources.

For technical outdoor lighting, with its 4010 and 2010 LED multi-purpose luminaires, WISKA offers compact and very flexible products with a long LED lifetime and material advantages for sustainable installation. These are complemented by the new LED floodlight 5010, a product complement of the LED floodlight 5000 with High-Lumen-Output, 1x 220W or 2x 200W and separate ballast unit. The new WISKA LED searchlight extends the popular octagonal design series and can be used as a searchlight or floodlight with 2x 18,000 lm and IP 66/68, in endless rotation, with stepless speed and morse function. With its new remote control unit, operation is a child's play.
The WISKA HNA installation material made of brass were the first WISKA products that the company produced when it was founded in 1919. Just a few years later, the first plastic products were added, especially for the non-maritime market. WISKA now finally offers a high-quality, seawater-resistant plastic alternative for the classic maritime brassware - lead-free and even in protection class IP66/67. The COMBI® MARITIM 304 system consists of a junction box, rotary switch and LED light - manufactured from polypropylene and TPE in twin-shot injection moulding in Kaltenkirchen, supplied in black and with WISKA cable glands ESKV (junction box and rotary switch). "With its low weight and long life, our COMBI® MARITIM 304 system offers clear advantages for installation and the environment. All this made in Germany.," says Ronald Hoppmann, General Management. Of course, WISKA will also be showcasing its market-leading VARITAIN® reefer container sockets and cable entries at SMM.

The lighting and installation ranges are rounded off by WISKA CCTV video surveillance: The current CS-S camera series with its 360° pan/tilt unit or as a fixed camera housing offers 512x zoom at 4 megapixel resolutions in operating temperatures between -30°C and +55°C.

All products are developed and produced by the company itself and run through the entire value chain at WISKA.

The WISKA team at SMM: Hall B6, Stand 212, stand party on 04/09/2024 from 5 pm.

Within its constantly growing range of technical lighting products, the company is presenting the new non-metallic LED multi-purpose luminaire 4010 with a luminous flux of 1,200 up to 7,200 lm and a lifetime of 100,000 hours. In addition to the long standard version with 775 mm, there is also a short version with only 495 mm. The high-performance lighting, optionally also with battery back-up, is corrosion-free and easy to install. It is ideally suited for use on car ferries, among others.

With the new LED searchlight, WISKA extends its existing range with a LED version. Its casing adds a complete new development to the familiar WISKA octagonal design. It can be used as a searchlight or floodlight and offers two times 18,000 lm. The new product features endless rotation, stepless speed control, a home and booster function and can be used at minus 25 °C to plus 45 °C. The LED innovations are rounded off by a new high-lumen output version of the floodlight 5000.

The new CCTV camera series also offers a new design: The new camera station can be rotated 360° endlessly thanks to its newly developed pan-tilt unit, while its variant as a fixed camera housing is fixly installed. With a new compact design without external cables and with an internal connection compartment, the new series replaces the entire previous WISKA stainless steel series.

WISKA will also be showing in its new COMBI 304 MAR series a junction box and a rotary switch at SMM. "In the area of installation material, our new COMBI 304 box brings along our many years of experience in non-metallic installation material from various industrial sectors. The two-component injection moulding made of polypropylene and TPE convinces at IP66/67 rating and is manufactured in our factory. Supplemented by its variant as a rotary switch, our 304 has what it takes to deliver a real alternative to the previous HNA products made of brass," says Ronald Hoppmann, WISKA General Manager, adding "We are very pleased to finally be back at SMM and to talk with our guests."

"Security through CCTV video surveillance is part of our daily work, so it was only logical for us to start right here especially with the need for increase safety measures in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the new camera solution, we are able to meet the protection requirements for guests and employees exceeding the required social distance measures, contact-free but with AI-precise accuracy at +/- 0.3°C," says Ronald Hoppmann, WISKA General Manager.

For indoor applications, a distance of 3 meters is required between the camera and blackbody. The blackbody is the device used to measure and reference the temperature. An individuals forehead temperature is measured with high efficiency and in real time – at different distances depending on the product version. The unit can measure up to 15 people simultaneously; this makes the solution equally suitable for low to high traffic areas. Measurements are reliable even when wearing a mask and result messages can be supported by an integrated alarm management. WISKA only displays, does not store or process the data generated - all legal requirements are met.

"The safety requirements have increased across all areas – that is why we are now thinking of new applications for our products. In particular, video surveillance offers unexpected possibilities, from body temperature measurement to fully automated mask recognition to access control in high traffic areas, there are hardly any limits to development - certainly also for the maritime industry. And best of all: These solutions can be seamlessly integrated into our existing CCTV networks," explains Rico Feldmann, Director Business Unit CCTV at WISKA. With their digital video systems, WISKA offers internationally certified solutions for a wide range of applications, from outdoor to indoor, night vision and explosion protection to searchlight combinations.

With the COMBI 304 junction box, WISKA is not only introducing a new size box within its popular COMBI® series, but also a new design: The COMBI 304 is the first circular COMBI box with a diameter of 82 mm, 57 mm high and, especially in its standard colour black, is also ideally suited for use in architectural and retro design projects. The rotary switch version of the 304 perfectly rounds off the design aspiration of the 304 enclosure. The 304 offers 4 M20 threaded membrane entries, which can be used with the cable directly entered through the membrane (IP66) or via WISKA cable gland (IP67), with their conduit fittings (BraceFITTING) or rigid conduit fittings (KRASM). The flat lid of the new box can be closed as a bayonet cap with only a quarter turn; two external mounting lugs with a distance of 90 mm allow for convenient installation.

In addition to the 304, the new and largest WISKA COMBI box 1610 (200x160x94 mm) also expands the range - and is available as a high-quality junction box with cable diameters up to 16 mm² for electrical installation, automation and industry, e.g. also for CCTV and Wifi interfaces and repeaters. With its high protection class IP66/67 and the high-quality plastic injection moulding, the box is UV and ozone resistant like all of its series and therefore ideally suited for indoor and outdoor use. Cable entry with the 1610 is via up to 30 knockout entries from M20 to M40; options such as a clear cover or closed sides are available. Full information on wiska.com.

Like the entire anniversary year, the evening was held under the motto “100 Years - One Team”, placing the focus of attention on those who have made the company successful: its customers, partners and employees.

‘I am delighted that so many guests have come to celebrate our centenary together with us in our founding city of Hamburg. On this evening we would like to thank all our business customers, partners, and current and former employees. We have achieved a lot together and stuck together through thick and thin. That has made our bonds strong. We are proud of these good relationships. You appreciate them when everything goes smoothly – and even more when a problem arises.’, said Ronald Hoppmann, who is the third generation of the family to run the company together with his sister Tanja Hoppmann. And also some of Hamburg´s celebrities and guests from industry´s associations took the chance to congratulate the company, among them, Michael Ziesemer, President of ZVEI German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers´ Association, Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO of Hamburg Messe + Congress GmbH, Marcell Jansen, President of the Hamburger SV, and Ian Karan, Hamburg Entrepreneur and former senator for economic affairs. Karan was, together with the Schotstek foundation, donation partners for WISKA, to allow for investments into the next generations rather than gifts to the company. The Karan foundation emphasizes on language training for migrant children. “We are very proud, that with our guests of only this evening, we managed to collect over 20 thousand Euro for both foundations.”, Tanja Hoppmann added.

In keeping with the team spirit, there was a special highlight for the guests: puppets up to five metres tall comprising a net of fibres and light, which were brought to life by the puppeteer ensemble “Dundu”, walked through the hall and interacted with the guests. Each puppet requires five puppeteers to move it. This symbolises the fact that individuals are always a part of a whole.

Even the site itself, the Hamburg Fischauktionshalle, is a very meaningful location for WISKA: with a direct view on the Blohm+Voss shipyard. The shipyard in which the founder of the company Wilhelm Hoppmann worked as a designing engineer before he set up his own business with his friend Hermann Mulsow in 1919. The two founded a special factory in Hamburg producing ship installation material made of brass. At that time, most probably neither of them suspected that 100 years later WISKA would be an internationally successful company with a total of six subsidiaries worldwide.

The 36,500 sq. m space will comprise of state-of-the-art logistics and production areas, office space and quality control areas. The first construction phase will focus largely on the building of the logistics and production facilities, which are to commence operation as early as 2021 and will enable WISKA to expand its capacity in this area by 50 per cent.

‘It is good for Kaltenkirchen and the region that the family-run company WISKA continues to invest in the future even after 50 years in this location. With this 36,500 sq. m plot they have found the right place for expanding their production and logistics facilities. The example of WISKA shows how important it is for the town to provide commercial land’, says Hanno Krause, mayor of Kaltenkirchen.

The new building has been planned and designed to ensure optimal material flows. It impresses with a significantly higher level of automation and digitalisation, both in logistics and in manufacturing. This will enable WISKA to establish completely new processes and considerably increase the level of service they offer to their customers.

‘By integrating cutting-edge software solutions into the warehouse and production areas and with the help of automated processes, we will be able to manufacture and ship individual customer orders on the same day. This underpins our claim of guaranteeing our customers constant high availability of our products across our entire product range. We will be able to be a lot more transparent about the shipping status of our goods, similar to what you see in the e-commerce segment. When you look at it in this way, we are constructing this building very much with the interests of our customers in mind’, explains Björn Heyna, Supply Chain Management and project manager for the new building at WISKA.

The building has been designed to ensure it can be further developed over the next 30 years. The overall concept will ensure that the separate WISKA sites of today, which are two km apart as the crow flies, can be merged together to form one German headquarters in the new location. This will be implemented over the course of further construction phases in the coming years.

‘With this new building, WISKA will be absolutely future-proof. The concept provides sufficient scope for us to develop in line with the market at a later date and adapt time and again whenever the framework conditions change. The building “breathes” with customer needs, regardless of whether this means that an even broader product portfolio, larger batch sizes or processes that integrate business partners are required. Overall, we will be quicker, more flexible and able to offer even more quality’, says Heyna.

In 1919, an engineer at the shipyard Blohm+Voss and his friend set up their own business: a specialist factory for the production of ship installation materials made of brass in Hamburg: Hoppmann & Mulsow. In a conversation between the two founders Wilhelm Hoppmann and Hermann Mulsow, the idea of the name WISKA is born – as an abbreviation of the German “wasserdichte isolierstoffgekapselte Kabelarmaturen” (waterproof insulated cable fittings), becoming the company name from then on. This year, the family-run business celebrates its 100th anniversary.

‘Throughout the WISKA history, we have walked new paths and been a benchmark for individual solutions. Starting with the founders, who laid the foundation for our approach with the idea of manufacturing products to meet the extreme demands at sea – right up until the present day’, says the grandson of company founder Ronald Hoppmann, who is now the third generation of the family to run the business alongside his sister Tanja Hoppmann.

In 1919, the founders of WISKA saw an opportunity to manufacture cost-efficiently switches, sockets and junction boxes made of robust brass in series production which met the requirements of the merchant ship standards committee (HNA) that was founded two years earlier.

Today, the family-run company employs 210 people in Germany and 50 in international subsidiaries. At the headquarters outside Hamburg WISKA develops searchlights, floodlights, reefer container sockets and CCTV video surveillance systems in addition to a wide variety of installation materials that are used worldwide. The material of choice is increasingly plastic. In WISKA’s own production facility, thirty injection moulding machines work in several shifts, ten of which use the two-component injection moulding process.

In order to deliver the highest quality, WISKA controls the entire supply chain itself, from development to delivery, everything is in one hand. "In order to continue to offer high-quality products "Made in Germany" in the future, we want to invest in our Kaltenkirchen location, expand production and internationally strengthen our sales structure and our subsidiaries," says Ronald Hoppmann.

"In sports, a good team is what really counts. Moreover, with good people, work is even more fun. This is what we take as an example in our centenary year and invite our business partners to celebrate together with us "100 years - one team" on our exhibition stand in Hanover”, says Ronald Hoppmann, 3rd generation General Manager of WISKA, together with his sister Tanja.

Visitors are welcome to explore their current product range, for example, the SPRINT® cable gland system (Pic. 1), that due to its modular design fits to almost any cable type and application. From standard to bend protection over external strain relief and explosion-proof to applications in extreme weather conditions, SPRINT® offers any solution.

In addition to cable entries, cable glands and junction boxes, WISKA will also be presenting the Brace® system (Pic. 2) for cable protection. The BraceFITTING, the centerpiece of the system, has a 360 degree closing mechanism for simple installation. The system further comprises of both metal and non-metal fittings, conduits and sleeve types.

And because it is not every year you turn 100, the Hannover Messe is the perfect place to celebrate this special occasion. On 2 April, from 6 p. m., the stand will become a party area and guests of the exhibition are kindly invited to become part of the team celebration. Ronald Hoppmann gives another good piece of advice for everyone who wants to come along. "Bring plenty of energy for dancing – our live band and DJ will give their all."

The video surveillance range has been extended: WISKA® showcases a new Plastic PTZ IP Dome Camera D100 (pic. 1) for offshore applications at WindEnergy. Also, the camera range has been extended with explosion-proof and nightvision products. This also helps to increase safety and security.

When it comes to lighting, the LED Floodlight 5000 is undoubtedly one of their major highlights (pic. 2). It is ideally suited for applications under extreme weather conditions, as it is heat- conductive and corrosion-free due to its special modular design of high-quality plastic modules and stainless steel housing. To meet different lighting requirements, the floodlights is now also available with “narrow” and “wide beam” lens types.

At the WindEnergy WISKA® is solidifying its position as a full-range supplier in the field of cable entries and presents the cable protection system Brace® (pic. 3). The heart of the system is the BraceFITTING. The fastening section of the BraceFITTING is designed in such a way that it directly grips into the conduit and can be opened and closed again using a standard tool in just a few seconds. Part of the system are also non-metallic conduits and the metallic range of fittings and conduits. The range is rounded off by braided and woven sleeves for comprehensive protection.

The innovative cable entry system CONMAXX (pic. 4) consists of three components: Frame, grid inserts and conical sealing elements. The three components can be compiled individually according to requirement and application. This way, the entry system can be assembled from the inside out. Together with the WISKA® typical junction boxes, they cover the majority of electrical installation on board and are also presented at SMM.

Driven by their ideas and exhibits of product intelligence for lighting and reefer sockets, WISKA® also wants to discuss possible applications of these in maritime surroundings.

“As a company founded in Hamburg, we have been exhibiting at SMM for decades – and each time are more than happy to do so. We like to see partners, showcase new products and keep in touch about future and current maritime subjects. Exhibiting here at SMM in Hamburg, always feels like a `Heimspiel´ for us, which is the German word for “home game”.”, says WISKA® General Manager Ronald Hoppmann. And at this year´s SMM, the company presents several new product highlights.

The VARITAIN® reefer container socket range is famous for meeting most individual demands on board. And now it has been extended by two new spacesavers. The new VARITAIN® PushIn Rack (pic. 1) has been designed in upright position to offer a maximum of reefer connections on the same space. The sockets are designed with a 45° angle to ensure a space-saving product and safe installation. The Advance version (pic. 2) of the PushIn Rack further has an external power connection and the smallest housing of the VARITAIN® series.

„The external powerport significantly simplifies installation as the main power supply is very comfortable to connect. The risk of damages is minimised, because the housing´s lid can stay closed during the whole installation process.“, Ronald Hoppmann explains.

Also the video surveillance range has been extended: WISKA® showcases a new Plastic PTZ IP Dome Camera D100 (pic. 3) for maritime applications at SMM. Also, the camera range has been extended with explosion-proof and nightvision products. This also helps to increase safety and security on board.

When it comes to lighting, the LED Floodlight 5000 is undoubtedly one of their major highlights (pic. 4). It is ideally suited for applications under extreme weather conditions at sea, as it is heat- conductive and corrosion-free due to its special modular design of high-quality plastic modules and stainless steel housing. To meet different lighting requirements, the floodlights is now also available with “narrow” and “wide beam” lens types.

The cable entries range of WISKA® newly also comprises a comprehensive cable protection range with metallic and non-metallic fittings and conduits. Together with the WISKA® typical junction boxes, they cover the majority of electrical installation on board and are also presented at SMM.

‘Achieving good figures with customers and partners is important, but it is even more important to know each other well. This not only makes our work more successful, but also simply makes it more fun to spend time together’, says WISKA Managing Director Ronald Hoppmann, who is the third generation of the family to manage the company together with his sister Tanja Hoppmann.

The joy of playing and the fun that was had also inspired former HSV professional, current DFB sports director and coach of the women's national team Horst Hrubesch. The former international came as a surprise guest and was enthusiastic about the mood of everyone involved.

It was also Hrubesch who presented the Cup to the winners of the tournament, the team from electrical wholesaler Hillmann & Ploog. Second and third places went to the two teams from WISKA Germany. The top scorer of the day was Callum Wilson from Team WISKA UK.

Even after the award ceremony, the atmosphere remained relaxed. ‘We do it like the pros. On the pitch, we’re united by our enthusiasm for sporting competition and off the pitch, we're inspired by working together’, summarises Hoppmann, adding: ‘We're delighted that many young players have also taken part in the guest teams – because the promotion of young talent is particularly important to us as a family company. Not only at WISKA itself, but also in our home region at Hamburger SV, which enabled us to host this event at the stadium.

And because football fever works up an appetite, the teams went on to a Hamburg beach club after the tournament, where the eventful day ended with a relaxed barbecue by the Elbe. The following day, all the guests got the opportunity to get to know WISKA on site in Kaltenkirchen – from development and production to the laboratory. The new edition of the popular “WISKA box” presented this March, one of the latest WISKA highlights, was essential viewing, not least as a result of the direct cooperation with craftspeople who were hugely enthusiastic and already flirting with the idea of registering early for the next WISKA Business Cup.
