The company celebrates a remarkable series of anniversaries this year that highlight its long-standing commitment to innovation, expertise, and customer success. The company’s material handling business in Weingarten, Germany, and its feeder and conveying manufacturing facility in Niederlenz, Switzerland, both reach an impressive 125 years of operation, while Coperion Ideal in Noida, India, marks its 30th anniversary. Together, these milestones total an extraordinary 280 years of combined experience, know-how, and dedication to advancing the industry.

For 125 years, Coperion’s material handling business in Weingarten, Germany, has been a recognized leader in the bulk material handling markets. Like many companies at the turn of the last century, Coperion’s predecessor Waeschle initially ventured into the food industry, specializing in pneumatic conveying of grain and flour. It was only with the rise of plastics in the 1950s that new opportunities emerged, expanding the company’s horizons.
Today Coperion’s portfolio extends beyond its historical roots to include extensive process know-how and expertise in handling over 20,000 bulk materials and various methods for their efficient conveying, homogenizing, separating, heating and cooling methods. Plant engineering and design for large petrochemical installations as well as turnkey systems for the compounding industry are at the core of the company. Another key aspect of the company’s offerings is the design and manufacture of essential components such as rotary valves, diverter valves, and slide-gate valves, tailored for various industries. Complementing these products are Coperion’s process knowledge, engineering excellence, and project management capabilities, which allow the company’s experts to develop and deliver state-of-the-art bulk material handling systems for clients worldwide.
