About SEPAmatic
Master butcher Josef "Jupp" Hoppe ran a state-of-the-art meat processing plant in Köln in the early 1970s. He founded Modernpack GmbH in 1975 to create packaging machinery, but the company soon added other processing machines to its portfolio. Moving from Köln to Bergisches Land in the nearby countryside enabled SEPAmatic to expand rapidly.
In 1990, Jupp Hoppe's sons joined the company. Electrical engineer Günther Hoppe and mechanical engineer Jürgen Hoppe helped launch many innovations, especially in the field of meat preparation. Their ingenuity led to the SEPAmatic Desinewing machine, known in the industry as a soft separator and dubbed the "Mincer."
SEPAmatic presented its first machine line for the national and international market at the 1992 IFFA show. SEPAmatic presented strong, robust, cost-efficient equipment backed by Modernpack Hoppe's outstanding services. The brand became a market leader, with 25 years of controlled growth and expansion. SEPAmatic develops, manufactures and assembles all of its machines and their main components at the company's three locations, along with other equipment including conveyor and cooling systems.
