About us

Our company was founded in 1904 and has specialised in automatic hop dosing since 1972. We plan, design and produce machines for the automatic dosing of hop pellets, hop extract and isomerized hop products for breweries all over the world. We are located in Train, Germany, in the heart of the Hallertau, one of the world's largest hop growing regions.

Since raw hops were processed into hop pellets for the first time some 35 years ago, we have focused on the production of customised high quality automatic hop dosing systems. In 1973, we displayed our innovative hop pellet dosing unit at the International Brewing Exhibition in Houston/Texas (USA). In 1974, our first hop pellet dosing unit went into operation at a brewery in Dortmund, Germany.

During the 1980s we successfully developed machines for the automatic dosing of hop extract. In 1989, we displayed our hop extract dosing unit at the Interbrau trade fair in Munich, Germany. In the same year, our first two hop extract dosing units went into operation at a brewery in the north of Germany. In the 1990s we started to develop and produce dosing units for isomerized hop products and hop oils. Since then dosing units for all types of "down stream" products have formed part of our product line.

Over the last four decades we have developed a unique understanding and expertise in the area of automatic hop dosing which has been utilised by many breweries. Whether it is for a small family brewery or a large international brewing consortium: We design, produce and implement a tailor-made solution for every brewery.

Quality management

We take great pride in our hop dosing systems and we attach immense importance to the quality of our products.

To ensure our high standards are maintained, we have therefore introduced a quality management system which encompasses all our activities with respect to the development, assembly and distribution of automatic hop dosing units.

In 2004, our quality management system was certified by DEKRA Intertec Certification GmbH in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.
