In 1863, brothers Carl and Otto Hepp founded their company in Germany with an uncompromising mission: to supply the world's finest hotels and restaurants with silverware of the highest quality. Within years, HEPP products were on the tables of the North German Lloyd ocean fleet and the original Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York — and in 1871, Carl Hepp's development of the silver-plating process that would become the foundation of hotel silverware transformed the economics of luxury hospitality service. That innovation — known as "Hepp 90" or hotel silverware — made it possible to bring the appearance and weight of fine silver to the tables of institutions that required durability, volume, and consistency without the fragility or cost of solid silver. For more than 160 years, HEPP has continued to serve the Hotel Adlon Berlin, the Ritz-Carlton, and over 90 countries' worth of Michelin-starred restaurants, cruise lines, and airlines with flatware, hollowware, and serving systems that combine award-winning design with institutional performance. Now part of the SEB Professional group, HEPP received the German Design Award 2025 for its Cutting Edge collection. At Pastry Chef's Boutique, HEPP represents the definitive standard in professional silver — the art of the table, perfected over 160 years.
