Hopp + Flaig

What Hopp + Flaig does

Hopp + Flaig is a privately-held German management consulting partnership (PartG mbB, registration Amtsgericht Stuttgart PR 721030) founded in 1994 by Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Martin Flaig and Dipl.-Ing. Jürgen Hornberger. Headquartered in Stuttgart, the firm specializes in implementing and maintaining management systems for small and mid-sized enterprises (Mittelstand) across the DACH region, with a service portfolio spanning quality management (ISO 9001, IATF 16949, EN 9100, ISO 13485), occupational safety (ISO 45001), information security (ISO 27001, TISAX, BSI C5, NIS 2, CRA, IEC 62443), data protection (GDPR), sustainability (EcoVadis, supply chain due diligence), environment/energy (ISO 14001, ISO 50001, CO2 footprinting), compliance (ISO 37001, ISO 37301, whistleblower protection), and medical device authorization (MDR, FDA, IVDR). The firm holds ISO 9001 certification and achieved EcoVadis Platinum status in 2024 (Top 1%, 80/100 overall, 90/100 Ethics).

The firm operates eight core consulting services — gap analysis, implementation consulting, external officer placement (Beauftragte), internal audits, software tool advisory, training, supplier/customer audits, external audit accompaniment, and grant acquisition — across six advisory domains. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm's core asset is its interdisciplinary team of qualified engineers. Through a core partnership with ConSense GmbH, the firm bundles consulting with integrated management system (IMS) software deployment. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales, with services delivered via on-site consulting at client premises, remote/online sessions via Microsoft Teams, and hybrid formats. The firm maintains six German offices (Stuttgart HQ, Karlsruhe, Munich, Hanover, Düsseldorf, Hanau) to provide regional coverage.

The business model is professional services: consulting fees are custom/quote-based, training/webinars are fee-based (e.g., €95 per attendee for EU AI Act training), and grant-funded engagements (BAFA, go-digital, Baden-Württemberg Klimaschutz) provide a partial subsidy lever that can cover up to 50% of consulting costs. The current organization consists of 22 permanent employees plus 5 regular freelancers, and customer relationships frequently span 10–20 years across diverse verticals including manufacturing, automotive, medical technology, aerospace, IT/software, pharmaceuticals/food, testing laboratories, and trade/logistics. Go-to-market is driven by trade shows (Control Messe, KONGRESS BW), webinars, content marketing via LinkedIn/XING/YouTube, referrals from long-term clients, and partner channels including the ConSense co-marketing relationship.
