WISKA first secured the award in 2023 and has now retained the title for four consecutive years, reflecting the company’s long-standing partnership with the IBA and its members.

Callum Wilson, National Sales Manager at WISKA UK Ltd, commented:

“To win Supplier of the Year once is a fantastic achievement, but to receive this recognition from IBA members for a fourth consecutive year is something we are incredibly proud of.

The award means a great deal because it is voted for by the customers we work with every day. Building strong, long-term relationships is at the heart of what we do, and this recognition reflects the hard work of the whole WISKA UK team.

“WISKA have supported the IBA for over 20 years and consistently provide an excellent level of service to our members. We have strong relationships with them right across the group, built through genuine engagement and a real understanding of our members’ businesses.

That partnership is delivering results too, with the majority of members growing their purchases with WISKA last year. They are a great example of what a supplier partnership should look like and thoroughly deserve to be our Supplier of the Year.”

The fourth consecutive win reinforces WISKA UK’s commitment to supporting the independent electrical wholesale sector through quality products, reliable service and strong customer partnerships.

WISKA UK Ltd Wins Electrical Times Editor’s Choice Cover of the Year Award 2025

08.01.2026

WISKA is proud to announce it has been named Editor’s Choice Cover of the Year 2025 by Electrical Times, one of the UK’s most respected electrical trade publications. It covers technical insight, industry news, product innovation, case studies and business trends relevant to contractors, wholesalers and installers. With a combined print and digital readership in the tens of thousands every month, including a print circulation of over 10,000 and digital reach extending much further. The award recognises WISKA’s visually striking October 2025 cover, which places the NEW COMBI 310 junction box firmly in the spotlight on the centre stage.

Turning Engineering into Art

The award-winning cover presents the COMBI 310 as a true masterpiece, displayed within a gallery-style setting and framed like a classic work of art. The visual draws a deliberate parallel between the art world and electrical engineering, where creativity is guided by structure, and excellence is defined by precision. Much like a curated gallery piece, the COMBI 310 is isolated, framed and given space, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the detail behind its design. The gallery aesthetic mirrors the role of an exhibition space: removing distraction to focus attention on craftsmanship, proportion and intent. In the same way that artwork is judged on composition and balance, the COMBI 310 is celebrated for its clean form, intelligent layout and installer-focused features. The frame becomes a symbol of recognition, elevating a functional product into something worthy of admiration.

The COMBI 310: Designed to Impress

At the centre of the award-winning artwork is the COMBI 310 junction box, developed with installers firmly in mind. Its clean design, rugged construction and practical features, including the products unique three M20 side entries, demonstrates how small details can deliver big improvements in industry. The cover communicates a clear message: the COMBI 310 is not just another junction box, but a carefully engineered solution that simplifies installation while maintaining WISKA’s renowned quality and reliability.

Editor’s Choice Recognition

The Editor’s Choice Cover of the Year Award is selected by the Electrical Times editorial team and celebrates covers that combine creativity, product storytelling and industry relevance. WISKA’s entry stood out for its confidence, originality and its ability to elevate a technical product into a compelling visual statement.

A WISKA UK Win

Elliot Rothon, UK Marketing Manager of WISKA UK Ltd, commented:
“Winning this award is a huge honour. It recognises not only the innovation behind the COMBI 310, but also the creativity and passion of our team. We’re proud to see a product designed for installers receive this level of recognition.”

Raising the Bar

Featured in the January 2026 edition of Electrical Times, the award-winning cover reinforces WISKA’s commitment to pushing boundaries, from product development to brand storytelling.

As WISKA continues to innovate and challenge expectations, this recognition marks another milestone in a journey defined by quality, creativity and confidence.

WISKA publishes Sustainability Report 2024: Progress, innovations, and a clear stance for the future

10.11.2025

Kaltenkirchen, [November 5, 2025] – With this sustainability report for the year 2024, WISKA Hoppmann GmbH has published its second sustainability report. The report shows the consistent implementation of the sustainability strategy and documents measurable progress in the areas of environment, employees, and corporate governance. 

“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.”

Strong together in north germany: WISKA becomes supplier of HSV

23.10.2025

WISKA Hoppmann GmbH is the official supplier of Hamburger SV for the current season. The family-owned company was already part of the HSV net-work in the past – now WISKA is building on positive memories and actively supporting the club in the Bundesliga once again.

"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.

The target is a closed CO² cycle that conserves limited resources.

Celebrating 25 Years of Growth Innovation and Excellence

01.01.2025

WISKA UK Ltd proudly celebrates 25 years of delivering industry-leading electrical products to the UK market. Since January 17th 2000, WISKA UK has grown into a thriving enterprise with over 50 employees, a cutting-edge 20,000 sq. ft. facility, and an annual turnover exceeding £23 million. 

Established by Will and Maxine Rich, WISKA UK Ltd began operations in a 100 sq. ft. space in Wadebridge, Cornwall. With a focus on innovative solutions and exceptional service, the company quickly gained the trust of electrical wholesalers and contractors. Today, it stands as a beacon of excellence in the electrical industry, representing the rich heritage of its German parent company, WISKA Hoppmann GmbH, which has been a leader in cable management and maritime solutions since 1919. 

WISKA UK Ltd has carried forward the innovative spirit of its German roots, continuously adapting products to meet the needs of the UK market. Signature products, including the COMBI junction box, VentGLAND for condensation prevention, and the TKS 32 consumer unit tail kit, have made WISKA a trusted name across the electrical sector. 

At WISKA UK Ltd, people are the foundation of success. With 38% of employees starting as apprentices and an average team age of 34, the company is deeply committed to fostering young talent and professional growth. "Our business is all about people," says Rhiannon Rich, Commercial Manager. This commitment is reflected in WISKA UK’s values, known as The PATH—Positivity, Approachable, Team, and Humble. 

Sustainability is another cornerstone of WISKA’s mission. The revolutionary TriShot Cable Gland exemplifies this dedication, boasting a 55% reduction in carbon footprint alongside outstanding performance and efficiency. The TriShot has garnered industry accolades, including the EW Magazine’s “Industry Initiative of the Year” and ECN Magazine’s “Cable Management Product of the Year 2024.” 

Additionally, WISKA UK Ltd has achieved a “Committed” rating from EcoVadis, underlining its dedication to environmental responsibility. From product design to operations, sustainability remains a guiding principle for WISKA. 

In addition to serving electrical wholesalers and contractors, WISKA UK Ltd has contributed to high-profile projects, including the Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carriers and Astute-class submarines. These achievements showcase the precision, durability, and versatility of WISKA products, built on a maritime legacy that dates back over a century. 

As WISKA UK Ltd celebrates this milestone, the company is poised for continued success. Plans for a new warehouse reflect its confidence in sustained growth, while a pipeline of innovative products ensures it remains at the forefront of the industry. 

“We’re proud of our journey over the past 25 years,” says Will Rich, Managing Director. “Our success is built on innovation, quality, and the incredible people who make it all happen. Here’s to the next 25 years of excellence.”
