Rovema GmbH

We have a passion for developing and building packaging machines and systems that suit the complex demands of a modern circular economy. We THINK holistically and take into account the environment, the market, the product and the packaging. This allows us to build efficient and future-proof packaging machines with high availability. A sustainable solution that fits the characteristics of the product to be packed and its demands in logistics, packaging material, shelf life and energy efficiency is our first priority. We actively search for possibilities to save packaging materials and have prepared our machines to process very thin packaging materials. At the same time together with our clients, we continuously test new packaging materials from regrowing or recyclable materials to ensure process ability at the highest possible output rate. With profound application expertise, innovative approaches and new technologies we find the optimum packaging solutions for our clients – custom-fit and individual – thus securing competitive advantages. With our global network we are on-site for you and for decades will support you throughout your system’s entire machine life. We offer various retrofits and modifications for existing machines that allow an adaptation to new demands for example paper materials.
