German Paratriathlon Champion

Our employees’ hobbies

Uli Wilfried Hoppe has worked as an industrial foreman in work planning at AMAZONE in Hude since 2008 and is not only a valued colleague, but also an outstanding sportsman.
As a result of a complicated back operation in 2007, he was left with a walking disability and an impairment to his hand. But Uli Wilfried Hoppe was not discouraged: on the contrary, he decided to dedicate his talents and skills to professional sport.
His commitment to sport goes beyond any physical challenge: Through triathlon training, he is also actively working on the neurological repercussions of the operation. In 2022, Uli was officially classified by the German Disabled Sports Association and competed at the German Championships in Hamburg in the same year. With an impressive performance, he secured the title of German Paratriathlon Champion over the Olympic distance (1,500 m swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run) in 2022.
We warmly congratulate Mr Hoppe on his outstanding skills and are proud to have such an inspiring and active colleague on the team.
