2016
ROPEX turns 40. The success story continues.
2016
UL certification for ROPEX temperature controllers with an EtherNet/IP and PROFINET interface.
2015
ROPEX moves into new premises; two sites are combined into one.
2012
New generation of temperature controllers with a certified interface (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET) for machine control systems in complex networks.
2009
ROPEX wins the German Packaging Award 2009 in the “Machine Technology” category.
2006
The first UPT sealing bar is manufactured at our new plant.
2005
A new production facility is built specifically for our CIRUS technology, to meet customer demands for larger sizes, shorter delivery times and more pioneering innovations.
2000
Market launch of our “CIRUS” technology – with ULTRA-PULSE heat sealing tools and a wide range of silicone profiles for the counter bar and the seam geometry.
1997
The decision is taken to develop the 400 series of fully digitalized RESISTRON controllers. Special temperature controllers are also designed for our CIRUS heating elements.
1996
Research and development work is carried out on heating elements in thick-film technology.
The result: highly dynamic heating elements based on steel substrates, for which various patent applications are submitted in the course of the year.
1993
Circuits start to go digital – and microprocessors are now used in all ROPEX controllers.
1991
Move to new premises in “Gansäcker 21”.
1985
ROPEX becomes a private limited company and is renamed ROPEX-Industrieelektronik GmbH.
1984
Continuous improvements are made to the RESISTRON series, which now also features a temperature gauge. The 200 series is extended to include 15 different models with functionalities to meet the most diverse market requirements.
1980
Development and production launch of a temperature controller for heat sealing bands in accordance with the resistance principle.
The RESISTRON series is born.
1976
ROPEX is founded by Robert Peters as an engineering consulting firm for measuring and control equipment.
