What ConPro does

ConPro GmbH is a privately held German industrial technology company specializing in measurement and control systems for plastic extrusion processes. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Porta Westfalica, Germany, the company designs and builds proprietary gravimetric weighing and dosing systems (GraviCon series), ultrasonic wall-thickness and geometry measurement systems (SoniCon series), continuous dynamic mixers (MixCon), and a centralized data management software platform (ODAS) for storing and analyzing process data. The technology is grounded in load-cell-based loss-in-weight weighing, static ultrasonic sensors with digital signal evaluation, and perforated-disc mixing elements, with a registered patent on adjustable calibration sleeve mechanics that enables diameter changes without losing vacuum.

The company sells modular, quote-based capital equipment primarily to manufacturers of plastic pipes, profiles, cables, films, plates, hoses, blow-molded containers, and compounded materials. It claims market leadership in ultrasonic measuring in the hot zone of extrusion and reports that combined GraviCon/SoniCon systems can deliver material savings of up to 10% while maintaining dimensional tolerances. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of GraviCon, SoniCon, and MixCon lines, supplemented by ODAS software delivered as a recurring subscription, with integration into customer ERP/MES/SCADA systems via industrial interfaces (RS232/RS485, CAN-Bus, PROFIBUS DP, Ethernet TCP/IP).

Go-to-market is predominantly direct enterprise sales from German headquarters, supported by a global network of regional representatives including a documented channel partner (solutionzplastic) covering Australia and New Zealand. The website operates in German, English, Chinese, and French. The company is led by Managing Director Dipl.-Ing. Andreas Meyer zu Künckdorf, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding.

Core offering

ConPro GmbH designs, manufactures, and sells measurement and control systems for plastic extrusion processes. Its portfolio includes gravimetric weighing and dosing systems (GraviCon series), ultrasonic wall thickness and diameter measurement systems (SoniCon-SL series), continuous dynamic mixers (MixCon), adjustable calibration sleeves with ROTEC cooling, and the ODAS data management software platform for centralized process data recording, visualization, and ERP/MES/SCADA integration.

Product overview

ConPro GmbH is a German industrial technology company specializing in measurement and control systems for plastic extrusion processes. The product portfolio consists of three core product lines: (1) GraviCon Series - gravimetric weighing and dosing systems including electronics (GraviCon, GraviCon 3000-Basic, GraviCon 3000-Control) and mechanical components (S-KTW, M-KTW, S/M-KTW-S, S/M-KTW-FS, S/M-KTW-SD variants), plus volumetric feeders (CP-S, CP-H, CP-D) and equipment accessories; (2) SoniCon-SL Series - ultrasonic measuring and inspection systems for pipe wall thickness, diameter, eccentricity, and ovality control, including MV, MH, MRT, MRR, MRST variants and measuring arm systems (MA-S, MA-Z); (3) MixCon - dynamic continuous mixing systems. The ODAS software platform provides centralized data storage, visualization, and integration with ERP/MES/SCADA systems. These products work together to optimize extrusion quality, reduce material waste, and enable precise process control in pipe, profile, cable, plate, film, and blow moulding applications.

Broad incumbents

• Endress+Hauser: Global leader in industrial process measurement and instrumentation for flow, level, pressure, and analytical parameters. While not focused on plastics extrusion, Endress+Hauser competes at the high end of process control and could expand into ConPro's served market.
• Schenck Process: Global industrial scale and feeding equipment major with a strong portfolio in gravimetric dosing, loss-in-weight feeders, and process feeding for plastics and chemical markets. Overlaps with ConPro's GraviCon offering but serves a much broader industrial base beyond extrusion.
• Coperion / Coperion K-Tron: Global manufacturer of compounding, extrusion, and feeding equipment including K-Tron gravimetric feeders for plastics processing. Competes with ConPro in the dosing/feeding portion of extrusion lines and serves overlapping compounding and extrusion customers.

Others

• Reifenhäuser Group: Major German manufacturer of extrusion lines for film, sheet, and nonwovens, increasingly bundling measurement and control into its line offerings. Adjacent to ConPro as a complementary supplier that also competes on integrated control packages.

Emerging players

• Kistler Group: Swiss-headquartered provider of dynamic measurement technology including pressure, force, and process sensors with applications in plastics processing. Comparable to ConPro in process measurement and instrumentation for extrusion and molding lines, though broader in industrial scope.
