OUR CONTRIBUTION FOR TOMORROW
THE DOPPLER STANDARD
As a leading umbrella manufacturer, doppler stands for innovation, quality and product diversity – always from the point of view of sustainability. A responsible relationship to people and the environment is a personal concern for the company. The declared “doppler standard” is based on three essential pillars.

QUALITY
Products that are manufactured by doppler are distinguished by their high quality.
Whether parasols or umbrellas, seat pads or garden furniture – the high quality of the doppler products can be relied on. The decisive factor for this is the use of first-class materials as well as comprehensive quality management. Before their introduction, doppler products are subjected to rigorous tests, for example, umbrellas are tested in the wind tunnel or fabrics are tested for their fade resistance. The three-year warranty speaks volumes and reflects the company's high level of confidence in its products. If, nevertheless, something should break, most problems can be rectified by trained specialist personnel of the in-house repair and spare part service.
QUALITYMANAGEMENT
Extensive tests of all products, such as wind tunnel tests and testing the fabrics for lightfastness.
WARRANTY
doppler offers a 3-year guarantee on all of its products - even 5 years on products from the Superstrong and Carbonsteel umbrella series.
REPAIR SERVICE
In-house repair and spare parts service enables the repair of damages, even years after the product was purchased.
SUSTAINABILITY
Doppler takes numerous steps to contribute to greater sustainability in the manufacture of its products.
For some time now, intensive efforts have been made to reduce plastic packaging with the goal of eventually eliminating it entirely. For example, packaging materials have been switched, and shipping bags are now made of paper wherever possible. As filling material, unusable shredded cardboard or biodegradable films are used. Since the 2020/21 season, doppler has been able to save more than 3.5 tons of plastic packaging annually.
The vast majority of all items leaving doppler are inspected according to TÜV and/or REACH standards or have a GRS- or FSC®-certification. When plastics are used, they are tested for harmful substances beforehand.
The repair service helps avoid new purchases and consequently reduces waste. Starting in 2022, the company headquarters in Braunau will cover more than 50 percent of its energy needs with its own photovoltaic system.
Due to the doppler repair and spare parts service, a large number of items can be repaired in the company's own workshop - this is our contribution to a longer life of the products and an effort to oppose the throwaway society.
LESS PLASTIC PACKAGING
Through the use of biodegradable films, sustainable filling materials, and paper packaging, more than 3.5 tons of plastic can be saved annually since 2021.
STANDARDS AND CERTIFICATES
Inspection of products according to TÜV and/or REACH standards and awards with GRS and FSC® certifications.

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY

CLEAR THE STAGE
.. for our sustainable products!
We rely on the use of rPET material, PFC-free impregnation and wood from sustainably managed forests for the umbrellas in the doppler nature Collection.
RESPONSIBILITY
As a traditional company and important regional employer, doppler is aware of its social responsibility.
The employees can rely on a secure job with attractive prospects and enjoy social benefits, amenities and support, for example in the form of funded training courses. In the family-run generation business, the collegial cohesion in everyday work can be felt. Doppler also recognises its obligation to society and relies as much as possible on cooperation with regional suppliers.
As an amfori BSCI member, doppler also contributes to improving social conditions - from fair payment to saying "no" to child labor - along the entire supply chain.
REGIONAL SUPPLIERS
Cooperation with regional suppliers where possible.

The collegial cohesion is very important in the family business and is noticeable in the daily routine.
