Our philosophy

Competent, fair and sustainable success – we want to achieve the best possible service for our customers and business partners. That is why we have developed a corporate philosophy that focuses on these aspects.

All business activities are subordinated to our quality standards, so that the practical implementation of our motto and the satisfaction of our customers is fully guaranteed at all times.
The interests and needs of our customers have the highest priority for us. Sustainable customer loyalty and a fair relationship to our customers is very important to us. We ensure this through our customer support in all business areas and a fair, comprehensible pricing policy.

There are no compromises when it comes to customer support; we ensure fast and direct contact with the competent reference person in the respective department.

Our principle of sustainability also applies to our personnel – we focus on education and training, fair working conditions and a pleasant working atmosphere and high motivation. Thus, we always strive for a long-term commitment of our employees and flat, efficient hierarchies.
This is particularly evident in the professional and competent way in which our employees deal with our customers, business partners and suppliers. The inclusion of the disabled is an important concern for us. In close cooperation with Lebenshilfe Bruchsal, we employ mentally handicapped people in various departments of the company.

HOFA is a unified company, which expects the same quality standards in each of the divisions HOFA-Studios, HOFA-Media, HOFA-College, HOFA-Akustik and HOFA-Plugins. It is our ambition to ensure the consistently high quality of all processes and to improve continuously. We are permanently defining new goals to increase the customer satisfaction and the quality of our products and services.

The principle of sustainability can also be found in our financial and innovation philosophy. The proceeds we generate are reinvested into the development and improvement of the internal infrastructure. Whenever possible, we incorporate ideas and suggestions from our employees, customers and the market situation into our further work. At the same time, we constantly maintain and optimize existing, proven products.

The environment matters a lot to us. Our solar power system covers almost all of our electricity needs and we work in a paperless office and work with energy-efficient technology in all departments. The quality of our products and equipment corresponds to this principle with regard to durability and value.

We see all aspects listed above as the base of our future work and ensure that our customers always have reliable, fair and competent partners in us. We continuously strive to improve our products, services and structures.

Certification

Climate neutral company
A responsible relationship with the environment has always been an important part of our corporate culture – and is even more so now. That is why we keep our CO2 emissions as low as possible. We compensate for unavoidable CO2 emissions by supporting a climate-positive project.
