The space will serve as headquarters for a new entity, Rovema North America Inc, which will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the German parent company, thereby reuniting the parent company with its North American business unit.
Rovema GmbH manufacturers equipment for dosing, vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) pouching, cartoning, and final packaging operations. The company has established itself among the industry’s premium machinery suppliers, with a reputation for engineering precision, innovative solutions to packaging challenges and unsurpassed customer service.
Though Rovema North America will initially focus on sales and service, it is planned that the plant will eventually be utilised for engineering and manufacturing as well.
Food packaging equipment veteran John Panaseny has been tapped as Rovema North America’s first chief executive officer.
“We appreciate the relationship we have had with Klaus Kraemer and Charlotte Koellner, but this completes our goal to become a unified worldwide organisation,” said Rovema GmbH managing partner Thomas Becker. “In recent years, it has been our goal to reunite our North American operations with our headquarters and technology centre in Fernwald, Germany. We believe the change in ownership in North America will benefit our customers by better leveraging our strong technological developments, global business insights and stable financial structure.”
