Hoppecke stands by its environmental principles
Rather than dismantle its stand at a recent engineering exhibition in Birmingham, Hoppecke Industrial Batteries decided to transfer the whole structure to its offices in Newcastle-under-Lyme. This involved several fork lift trucks – powered by Hoppecke batteries of course – and even a high-profile police escort up the M6.
The stand structure is now being used as a visitor centre where customers can see a showcase of Hoppecke's equipment and systems.
Hoppecke director, Bernard Molloy said: "We'd always planned to re-cycle our exhibition stand in this way because it is a very cost-effective solution. These structures are expensive and would normally be thrown away so re-using this and extending the lifetime of it makes financial and environmental sense."
