Ground-breaking solutions
are our constant aim

The question that constantly drives us is “How can cup fillers, bucket fillers and dosing systems be enhanced to accommodate the evolving requirements of markets and customers?” This is what we ask ourselves each and every day. And, as we discover the answers, we become a pioneer of innovative machine designs.

Here are some of the technical achievements for which GRUNWALD is renowned:

We consistently minimise machine downtimes by ensuring optimised product change/changeover times. For example: With GRUNWALD, product changeover times can be reduced by up to 70% compared to established technologies.
In 2019, we became the first food industry machinery manufacturer in the world to completely stop using peroxide – thereby setting ecological standards in the areas of hygiene management and sustainability.
We develop intelligent machinery that taps digital potential in the right way – and makes life a whole lot easier for machine operators.

We develop the optimum solution to meet the individual needs of each specific customer so that they can really make headway. Not only now, but also in the future! Ultimately, this can-do attitude is the key to our unique success story – a story that we love adding new chapters to in conjunction with our customers, machine by machine.

How we became a pioneer
one step at a time

GRUNWALD is the perfect example of how much drive and determination to progress can be found in a family owned and operated business. Within a few short decades, we have evolved from a trading firm into a globally active manufacturer of machinery. We are renowned throughout the world for our innovative and technically forward-looking solutions for cup filler, bucket filler and dosing system technology.
As a result, we regard ourselves as a pioneer who knows how to delight its customers across the globe with technology engineered and made in Germany.

Each and every day, we do everything we can to write the next chapter of our success story.
