Our latest blog post delves into the fascinating world of the packaging industry - more precisely, into the ROVEMA technical centre.
This is ROVEMA’s unique Test and Development Centre, located at our headquarters in Fernwald (Hesse, Germany), which offers customers the opportunity to thoroughly analyse their specific packaging requirements. As a leading manufacturer of packaging machines, we support the development and testing of innovative solutions under realistic conditions—without disrupting your ongoing production. All trials are guided by our experienced experts.
Dr Anina Leipold shapes the work in the ROVEMA Technical Centre with her in-depth expertise. As a chemist with a doctorate and an experienced expert in the field of packaging technology, she guides customers through complex test processes.
What is the ROVEMA Technical Centre?
ROVEMA’s Technical Centre houses a wide range of packaging machine generations and testing facilities, providing customers with a flexible environment to trial their specific packaging requirements—without the cost, retooling, or disruption to their own production lines. “As we test here using our own machines, we can accurately simulate what will happen later in the customer’s actual production,” explains Dr Leipold.
“Purpose-designed trials help us determine what truly works—and what doesn’t.” This approach enables customers to optimise their packaging processes with confidence before going live.
The customer advantages of the ROVEMA Technical Centre
A key advantage is the ability to test different packaging materials and machine configurations without the customer having to shut down their production lines.
Dr Leipold emphasises: "Testing in the ROVEMA Technical Centre saves time and money, as the customer does not have to interrupt their own production. At the same time, they have access to equipment that they don't have in their own factory. The results of the previous test can then be used to optimise implementation in their own production."
Working alongside experienced mechanical engineers and skilled technicians, customers at the ROVEMA Technical Centre benefit from hands-on testing - such as realistic filling trials - that provide real, measurable value.

"In the role of intermediary between our customer, us as the machine manufacturer, and the packaging manufacturer whose material we process, we make it possible to develop innovative solutions and test them directly on the machine. In this way, we offer our customers not only safety and efficiency, but also the certainty that the packaging processes will run smoothly - without production downtime and with access to the latest technology".
