Kopp Verpackungen GmbH

What Kopp Verpackungen GmbH does

Kopp Verpackungen GmbH is a privately held German packaging manufacturer headquartered near Pirmasens in Rhineland-Palatinate, with a company history tracing to 1939 and active pallet manufacturing since the early 1990s. The company produces wooden pallets and transport packaging — including disposable wooden pallets, EPAL Europaletten, INKA presswood pallets, chemical pallets, custom special pallets, wooden crates, container floors, and add-on frames — alongside custom-designed transport and sales packaging services. Production runs at a single central site on domestic wood using a modern line that supports manual through fully automatic modes, including stapling, drilling, milling, and stamping. The company holds IPPC/ISPM 15 heat treatment certification enabling worldwide export of wooden packaging.

The commercial model combines an enterprise direct-sales channel (phone and email consultation for custom solutions) with an e-commerce webshop selling standard packaging supplies such as corrugated cartons, shipping packaging, film packaging, cushioning materials, paper and cardboard products, and load-securing equipment. Customer segments are horizontal: industrial and manufacturing companies needing wooden transport packaging and export-compliant pallets; logistics and shipping companies needing pallets and load securing; and e-commerce/retail buyers purchasing standard materials online. Geographic reach is anchored in Germany with extension across Europe through the PackSynergy® packaging network.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (standard and custom wooden packaging plus webshop items) and project-based fees for custom packaging design, construction, and broader logistics chain services billed on actual work performed. Pricing is published for catalog items (e.g., INKA pallets €4.99–€10.95, IPPC Euro pallet €12.85) and applies a 10% first-order webshop discount. The company is privately held under the GmbH legal form with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, external funding, or M&A history in the available data.
