Schenck Process FPM is becoming Coperion

Schenck Process FPM became Coperion on August 1, 2024. This release predates that name change.

Effective August 1, 2024, the company will officially transition its name under Coperion

Stuttgart, Germany, May 6, 2024 – Following its September 2023 acquisition by Hillenbrand (NYSE: HI), Coperion Food and Performance Materials (FPM) is transitioning its name and brand to Coperion. The full legal change to Coperion will be completed by August 1, 2024.

Coperion is an operating company of Hillenbrand with 140 years’ experience in some of the world’s most critical processing industries. Coperion has contributed an integral part to its divisions, which support processing solutions for manufacturing in polymers/performance materials, food, health & nutrition and aftermarket sales & services.

Coperion expertise, team members, manufacturing sites, test and innovation centers, and technologies remain in place. This includes flagship brands such as Raymond® and Bartlett-Snow™, Stock, Baker Perkins, Kemutec and Mucon. Customers can experience a seamless transition bolstered by more resources and broader technology capabilities available through Coperion.

“The acquisition of Coperion in 2023 has been an essential step for the development of Coperion toward a more diversified company and an expanded footprint. With the transition of the FPM brand name under Coperion, we take the next step in our journey,” said Ulrich Bartel, President of Coperion. 

“Aligning more closely with Coperion reflects a significant opportunity for us to combine our strengths and offer customers access to a broader portfolio of solutions, technologies and services,” said Matthew Craig, Vice President and General Manager, Coperion. “This wider range of complementary technologies and increased scale makes us even more capable of delivering value.”

The migration of the U.S.-based Coperion began in May 2023 when it spun off from the German-based Coperion—which has since rebranded as Qlar in a parallel, but unrelated, process.

The evolution to the Coperion name and brand begins with the fpm.coperion.com digital domain shifting to coperion.com. The company’s website and emails, including those from technology brands such as Baker Perkins, will change. The new website can be found at coperion.com/fpm.
