01.03.2025 - Modernpack Hoppe GmbH is now SEPAmatic GmbH Continuity and Trust – SEPAmatic remains your reliable partner
Over the past decades, SEPAmatic has become one of the market leaders in the field of soft separation machinery for the food industry. This success has only been possible thanks to the close and trusting collaboration with our partners – our dealers, customers, and suppliers. Since its founding, our company has been guided by the principles of quality, efficiency, and service, which continue to form the foundation of our success today.
As an owner-managed family business, Jürgen and Günther Hoppe have built SEPAmatic together and continuously developed it with great passion and innovative spirit. Since the introduction of the SEPAmatic brand in 1992, they have consistently expanded the machine portfolio and, thanks to a high level of in-house production, have been able to respond flexibly to customer needs.
After more than 30 years in company leadership, Günther Hoppe has decided to retire at the age of 72. At the beginning of 2025, he stepped down as Managing Director and shareholder. Jürgen Hoppe will continue to lead SEPAmatic as Managing Partner. He will be supported by Andreas Ruepp, who is joining the company as Commercial Managing Director and co-shareholder. Additionally, the company has secured a strong partner for its future growth with the Hamburg-based investment company BPE (www.bpe.de).
Our shared vision for the future is clear: We remain committed to the sustainable development of our company – with our proven team and at our Overath location. Our goal is to further strengthen our position as a quality leader and successfully lead our medium-sized business model into the future. Our company philosophy remains unchanged: SEPAmatic will continue to operate as an independent, owner-managed company.
Our employees are especially close to our hearts. Their dedication and commitment are the key to our success. That’s why we are excited to shape the next stage of SEPAmatic’s development together with our team. The Overath location is secured for the long term, and we see great potential for exciting innovations and further growth in our workforce.
We, Jürgen Hoppe and Andreas Ruepp, are convinced that SEPAmatic is well-positioned for the future with this transition and will continue to be a strong, innovative, and reliable partner for our customers.
We look forward to many more successful years of collaboration and are always available for any questions or personal discussions. If you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Press release
IFFA 2019
The Modernpack Hoppe GmbH will traditionally present its SEPAmatic mincer line at IFFA and with the new model SEPAmatic 6000, again another milestone for the industries will be ready in time. Since the 2016 fair, both, performance requirements as well as higher efforts for perfectly minced meat alongside with the best possible dividing of tendons and the meats. The SEPAmatic process still is mainly interpreted as a separation process, but as the process and the required meat movements are not done by means of screws, but by the much gentler soft belt system it is called MINCER. That squeeze- and conveyor- belt pushes the softer portions of the raw material with the lowest possible friction level into the process drum, while any harder contents of the batches are removed separately by the belt. In addition to perfect mince , the process also offers the advantage of ensuring that the high-quality processing meats are not only free of tendons but also free of foreign particles. The problem of foreign particles has recently become more important due to the significantly increased plastic breakages of E-boxes in our industries. This fact also necessitated the development of the new SEPAmatic 6000 top end machine.
The SEPAmatic 6000 is equipped with a powerful drive system and the possible technical features such as the Modernpack Hoppe patented SEPAmatic cooling system, automatic dosing silo, patented automatic level control, program controller and others. Pending on the configuration, the performance of the 6000 system can be up to 25 tons / hour.

IFFA 2019 is now history but no worries after IFFA is before IFFA and we already have ideas hoping to be realized until 2022. Now we have to thank all our customers who confirmed trusting in our supplies and services and who confirmed it with orders and inquiries. We came back from IFFA and right now we do our best to respond to all asap.
Look at the picture underneath, showing part of our team supporting Jürgen Hoppe and all looking small in front of the new SEPAmatic 6000. The background logo saying "food processing in perfection" wasn’t our choice but indeed is a true one.
Next photo shows our Mr Detlef Derichs in his new suit with bow tie at the Brussels Seafood Europe 2019 which had been held parallel to IFFA. Him and Tim did a great Job. For us being present in Frankfurt as well as in Brussels at the same time was not easy but very important.
