What drives us:
One thing is clear: making a positive contribution to our environment by recycling plastic.
Also very clear: “We won’t be able to save the world – but we want to be a ‘good thing in the world’ with WIPA.” – Heinrich Wissing
Our vision: Out of the throwaway society – towards plastics for generations. Because we know that our planet’s resources are finite. That’s why we give plastics a new lease of life with our systems and turn low-value materials into something valuable again.

Wipa on the move
Out of the throwaway society - towards plastics for generations!
Because we can!
Johannes and Heinrich as brothers and partner duo have the trade in their blood, both come from the toolmaking industry, have always worked with steel … and “back then” (at the same time as the invention of the yellow bag) quickly brought in the added value. Where others think in terms of individual machines, we are already planning entire roads.
Thanks to our hands-on mentality and our expertise, it is often the unconventional approaches that lead to innovative solutions. Because we are plant engineers … not concept developers.
This strong foundation in combination...
- ... with a (we call it) "family team" that sticks together and thinks and acts in a future-oriented way on a professional, technical, sustainable and human level
- ... with renowned international suppliers
- ... with our own machinery and a state-of-the-art technical center
... makes us unbeatable for our customers
And so WIPA continues to be at the forefront worldwide:
Yesterday. Today. And in the future.
