About
For more than 50 years already Hupkens Industrial Models has been producing scale models that are used for the most diverse purposes. The name Hupkens stands for professional experts with an eye for delicate perfection and with insight into advanced technology.
And what’s most important, they know how to model reality, leaving out irrelevant and disfiguring details without sacrificing truthfulness. This is one of the reasons why especially contractors and subcontractors operating in the international aerospace industry have a long-standing preference for Hupkens when it comes to building both instructive and representative models of satellites and space objects.
It’s no wonder, then, that Hupkens is one of the major specialists in this field in Europe. A factor contributing to this is it’s great production flexibility allowing Hupkens to build anything from series of 10 to 50 and more identical models to life-size representations true to the minutest details, for museums, fairs, exhibitions etc.

Proposal procedure
Before the start of a project the outlines of the assignment are explored thoroughly. We hold discussions with the customer about the possibilities of applications scale, details, materials, construction and transport for the model. That is followed by a proposal in the form of an offer without engagement.
Project agreements are clearly formulated and recorded for every assignment and the necessary data is collected. The customer often provides information, but extra research and examination of the records can be necessary. Monitoring of costs and planning play a major role from the beginning.
Permanent quality control contributes to our delivery of a thoroughly detailed and technically sound model without the price-quality ratio being lost from view.
After care
Model-making demands care even after the model has left the production hall. If required, we can make a separate container to prevent the model from being damaged during transport or storage.
Hupkens Industrial Models also arranges transport, assembly and dismantling for the models throughout Europe.
