About SN Maschinenbau
SN Maschinenbau GmbH is a privately owned, medium-sized manufacturer of customer-specific pouch packaging machines, based in Wipperfürth, approximately 40 kilometers northeast of Cologne. At two locations in Wipperfürth, around 300 employees develop and manufacture horizontal form, fill, and sealing machines (HFFS) for food, pet food, seeds, non-food products, and pharmaceuticals. The machine technology is offered in various series such as Economic-Series, Professional-Series, Hygienic-Series, Spout-Series, Continuous-Series, FS-Series, Seed-Series, and Pouchmaker-Series and is configured and tested individually in the company's own development center, including for recyclable packaging materials. The company, with high manufacturing depth, derives its name SN from a traditional line dating back through Gebrüder Höller (1910) and Bosch to the founding of the current GmbH in 2002 in Lindlar. The service portfolio includes spare parts supply with over 18,000 stock items, a helpdesk with remote support, on-site installation service, and machine lifecycle service including existing machines from Laudenberg and Hoeller. Delivery and service are offered worldwide.
