A family business
At J. Hundahl, we see ourselves in other family-owned businesses that are constantly innovating the market and setting the bar for what a good machine should be able to do. ROPA was founded back in ’72 by Hermann Paintner, who still resides in the control cabin of the factory in Germany, with the rather simple aim of meeting the high demands that farmers of sugar beet and potatoes in particular place on their production today.
This focus has made ROPA the leading manufacturer of harvesters and cleaners for beets and potatoes – not only in Germany, but also in Denmark, Europe and the rest of the world.
In 2012, ROPA acquired German machinery manufacturer WM Kartoffeltechnik to expand its product range to include potato handling equipment. And since then, things have gone from strength to strength: ROPA’s Keiler (German for wild boar) series is considered the best in the world.
Award-winning coating
ROPA sets high standards for its own products and production as a whole. This means that they invest heavily in creating the best, most durable and sustainable surface treatment on the market, which they do themselves. This focus has resulted in an award for the best, most innovative and sustainable coating in German-speaking countries – and the standard is high.
Class heavyweights
Do not let the cute names of ROPA’s Maus series fool you. A Maus, for example, boasts more than 10 meters of pick-up table and no less than 18 rollers for gentle cleaning of the crops to be loaded. No matter which ROPA machine you are looking at, you can always be sure that these are huge heavyweights with maximum performance.
Tiger is the world’s largest beet harvester with unmatched power and maximum loading volume. Panther is slightly smaller than Tiger – but again, still really big – and more flexible, so it works well for driving on uneven surfaces and over furrows. Finally, there is Keiler, who is the absolute best in class at digging up potatoes.
At J. Hundahl, no machine is too big and our competent employees are always ready to provide professional service on your ROPA machine.
