Sparck origins

100 years of
automation

Founded in 1924 as HaDeWe in the Netherlands, our company has a rich history of innovation through automation. In our modest history, we succeeded to kickstart four technological revolutions. From automating Dutch wooden shoe production to introducing groundbreaking stencil and envelope stuffing machines, our journey has been marked by major technological advancements.

Engineers
at heart

In 2013, we embarked on a new path, driven by the demand for more efficient and sustainable automated packaging solutions. Our brilliant team of engineers blazed a trail of innovation with a revolutionary technology: smart automated fit-to-size packaging systems designed to reduce costs and minimize waste. This led to the development of our first fit-to-size automated packaging solution, the CVP Impack. Six years later, we unveiled the CVP Everest, capable of creating up to 1,100 boxes per hour. Since 2013, we have continued to evolve, launching multiple machine version and numerous new features.
