MEET "THE ORIGINALS"

Schubert invest 5%-10% of our annual revenue into R&D annually, resulting in new packaging solutions consistently. Driven by a pioneering spirit for nearly 60 years, many of the core technologies found in the marketplace today originated in our company.

Packaging robots

In the late 1970s, our founder Gerhard Schubert saw a palletizing robot at the US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson. Inspired, he developed Roby, the first robot designed to package individual items. Roby had its debut at the Interpack trade show in 1981, playing the game of Mühle (Nine Men's Morris).

Counterflow principle

Partially filled packaging is a consistent disappoint to both manufacturers and consumers. Ralf Schubert solved this challenge in 1994 during a vacation. After running simulations, he devised the counterflow principle: products and packaging are fed to the picker line in opposite directions. Since the patent expired in 2016, every manufacturer of pick-and-place machines has adopted this principle.

Integrated Flow-Wrapping Machines

Our flow-wrapping machines shortened the path from oven to packaging by becoming the first company to combine a picker line with a flow-wrapping machine, enabling the entire packaging process within a single compact system.

Robotic Kinematics

The only packaging manufacturer to offer robots in two different kinematics types: Scara and Delta. Depending on the application and available space, we select the optimal solution for you, so you aren’t bound to a single capability.
