ROPEX is founded by Robert Peters as an engineering, consulting firm for measuring and control equipment.
Picture: The first balance sheet is drawn up by hand.

Development and production launch of a temperature controller for heat sealing bands in accordance with the resistance principle.
The RESISTRON series is born.

Continuous improvements are made to the RESISTRON series, which now also features a temperature gauge. The 200 series is extended to include 15 different models with functionalities to meet the most diverse market requirements.

ROPEX becomes a private limited company and is renamed ROPEX-Industrieelektronik GmbH.


Circuits start to go digital – and microprocessors are now used in all ROPEX controllers.

Research and development work is carried out on heating elements in thick-film technology.
The result: highly dynamic heating elements based on steel substrates, for which various patent applications are submitted in the course of the year.

The decision is taken to develop the 400 series of fully digitalised RESISTRON controllers. Special temperature controllers are also designed for our CIRUS heating elements.

Market launch of our “CIRUS” technology – with ULTRA-PULSE heat sealing tools and a wide range of silicone profiles for the counter bar and the seam geometry.

A new production facility is built specifically for our CIRUS technology, to meet customer demands for larger sizes, shorter delivery times and more pioneering innovations.




ROPEX moves into new premises; two sites are combined into one.
