Company Description
ROPA is a german company that produces farming machines used in more than 40 countries around the world.

In recent years, a lot of energy and capital has been invested in the development of the key operational facilities in Sittelsdorf.

Due to the increasing demand for high-quality ROPA machines, new manufacturing halls have been built for production, research, and development, and a new powder-coating plant has just started operation.

To ensure the best possible customer service and spare parts supply outside Germany, ROPA has established subsidiaries in France, Ukraine, Russia, Poland, and China with about 200 employees, engaged in customer service, spare parts warehouse, and sales.

Immediately adjacent to the company premises Hermann Paintner, the founder of the company, has built an innovative pilot biogas plant for generating green power and heat from sugar beets.

The test plant is designed to test the fermentation properties of sugar beets.
