HUP GmbH – History
A short look back
Take a journey with us into the past – from the start of HUP to the present.
With numerous in-house developments, innovative ideas, mergers and acquisitions, we have successfully expanded our portfolio and comprehensive consulting and IT services for numerous daily newspaper, advertising journal, magazine publishing and payroll accounting customers since our founding in 1984.
Today, with around 100 experts, HUP is one of the market-leading software developers for media houses and many other companies, which we support in their digital transformation – all the way to 360-degree marketing concepts and their cross-media implementation.
It all started with HUP founder Ulf Henke and his partners.
