Shibuya Hoppmann History

Shibuya Hoppmann Corporation

Since 1955, Shibuya Hoppmann has been delivering specialized products and systems to meet customer needs with dedication to quality and commitment to service. In 1975, in response to the need for quieter, gentler parts handling, Shibuya Hoppmann developed, patented and introduced several Centrifugal Feeder Systems. These versatile feeder systems quickly established firm positions throughout a broad cross-section of the packaging and manufacturing industries. This success led to new opportunities in automated assembly and production line integration.

Shibuya Hoppmann has an experienced, dedicated and diversified staff able to effectively respond to complex customer requirements. This staff of management specialists; research, design, and production engineers; draftspersons, technicians; and highly skilled craftspersons effectively implement our projects and continue the development and expansion of our line of standard modular equipment.

As system integrators, we find solutions to new problems via a structured, modular approach. This approach incorporates proven products from the general workplace integrated with our own standardized equipment. Some modules may be custom-engineered resulting from combining innovative engineering, broad industry experience, and proven design principles and methods.

Shibuya Hoppmann clients can benefit from a complete logistics program, which includes training of user personnel in systems operation and maintenance. Emergency and regularly scheduled maintenance services are also available. Shibuya Hoppmann will also recommend and supply the appropriate spare parts inventory to support our products and systems.

Shibuya Hoppmann is located in a 47,000 square foot facility in Elkwood, Virginia. This modern facility houses all corporate, engineering and system integration, and most assembly operations. Our primary manufacturing facility is located in Madison Heights, Virginia. All standard products are manufactured in this 57,000 square foot plant. Using state of the art CNC machining systems and AutoCad and Solidworks engineering drawings, Shibuya Hoppmann guarantees top quality products, and fast turnaround.

A value added dealer/OEM network was established in 1984, and now serves a global clientele base. This includes North America, Mexico and the Pacific Rim. Each dealer is factory trained by Shibuya Hoppmann in technical and product applications on a continuing basis.

In the beginning of 1997 Shibuya Hoppmann introduced a full line of labeler equipment including print and apply, in-line and high speed rotary systems. Combining these labeler systems with Shibuya Hoppmann feeders provides the industry a unique solution to combined parts handling/labeling applications.

In July 2005, Shibuya Kogyo, Co. Ltd. (www.Shibuya.co.jp), an industry leader in supplying packaging machinery located in Japan, acquired Hoppmann. Shibuya is a public company, founded in 1931, with a sales volume of approximately 450 million dollars. Its packaging division manufactures a variety of filling systems, bottle unscramblers, washers, cappers, labelers, casers and packers, conveyors, and palletizing equipment utilizing the most advanced and cutting edge technology. It serves many markets including pharmaceutical, beverage, food, and cosmetics. With Shibuya Hoppmann as a platform, Shibuya is positioned to introduce its broad range of machinery and expertise to North America and plans to become the largest packaging machinery supplier in the U.S.

Today, Shibuya Hoppmann is at the forefront of automated systems development. From parts feeders and intermittent and continuous motion assembly and placement systems, to labeling and entire integrated production lines, our successful track record in the design and construction of production machinery for the packaging and consumer products markets is unsurpassed. Working closely with our customers in evaluating and solving problems and satisfying their specific and often unique needs is our forte. Furthermore, in collaboration with Shibuya, Shibuya Hoppmann strives to become the preferred packaging machinery manufacturer in the U.S.
