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.

Our flagship
invention
First, a single- or multi-item order is placed on the induct station. The operator pushes the button and the order is advanced to a 3D scanner that measures the products to be packaged. The box is created around the order, sealed, weighed and labeled.
Built with pride,
made by humans

From Friesland,
with love
We are a global company, but our headquarters are based in Friesland, The Netherlands. A home that has historically been a notoriously difficult place to live, but an even harder place to leave, as it’s so easy to love. With rising sea levels and our relationship with the land- or ‘waterscape’ around us, we’re committed to taking meaningful steps to reduce our footprint.
