the guys from Stadlohn
are also there!
What drives us:
Quite clearly: making a positive contribution to our environment by recycling plastic.
Also very clear: We will not be able to save the world – but we want to be “a good thing in the world” with WIPA.
Our vision: Out of the throwaway society – towards plastics for generations. Because we know that the resources of our earth are finite. That’s why our plants give plastics a new lease on life and turn materials with little value into something valuable again.

Wipa on the move
Out of the throwaway society - to plastics for generations!
Because we can!
Johannes and Heinrich, as brothers and managing director duo, have the trade in their blood, both come from the toolmaking industry, have always had to do 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.
Due to our hands-on mentality and our know-how, it is often the unconventional ways 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 manner on a professional, technical, sustainable and human level.
- ... with renowned international suppliers
- ... with its own machinery and a state-of-the-art technical center
... makes us unbeatable for our customers
And so “the boys from Stadlohn” continue to be at the forefront worldwide:
Yesterday. Today. And in the future.

What makes Wipa?
We used to be ridiculed when we exhibited at trade fairs. WIPA, the underdog from Stadtlohn, seen as a “short-term phenomenon”. Today we can say: “The boys from Stadtlohn” have seen many come and go – we are still here. And quite far ahead: As a first-generation family business (with the second generation in the starting blocks), which has been active in plant engineering and special machine construction since 1994 with a good 100 employees and worldwide national agencies and subsidiaries – specializing in the recycling of plastics.
Our focus
- Plastics processing
- Recycling
- Shredding
- Recyclables recycling
- Plastics processing
- Innovative special machines
What drives us
Quite clearly, making a positive contribution to our environment by recycling plastics.
Also very clear: We will not be able to save the world, but we can do our part.
Yesterday. Today. And in the future.
