What Webomatic does

WEBOMATIC Maschinenfabrik GmbH is a German industrial packaging machinery manufacturer founded in 1958 and headquartered in Bochum, Germany. The company designs and produces a comprehensive range of vacuum packaging machines, thermoforming packaging systems, and tray sealers serving food processing, medical products, and industrial customers across global markets through a network of more than 150 sales and service partners and a wholly-owned subsidiary in Romania.

The product portfolio spans table-top vacuum machines (easyPACK mk³, E 15/C 15 series), single-chamber machines (SuperMax I, craft45, I 30), double-chamber machines (factory 45/65, duoMAT 450/650/850, PNC 20), chamber belt machines (CL-C 950), tray sealers (TL 250 through TL 1350), and thermoforming machines (ML-C 2600 through ML-C 7600, the latter supporting three-shift industrial output with up to 190 mm draw depth and 1,000 mm repeat length). The machines integrate proprietary technologies including WEBOMATIC CleanDesign for hygienic machine design with inclined surfaces, On-The-Fly format changeover for reduced downtime, Single Cavity Control (SCC) for uninterrupted production despite cavity faults, WEBOMATIC 2pack for dual-pack configurations, and highly dynamic servo-drive technology for energy-efficient film transport. The company emphasizes modular machine designs expandable up to 20 meters for industrial-scale operations.

WEBOMATIC operates a hybrid B2B business model combining direct enterprise sales from its German headquarters with a global channel partner model. Revenue streams include hardware sales of new and refurbished ("Good as new") machines, recurring spare-parts sales, and professional technical services including maintenance, repairs, and training delivered worldwide.
