Following its September 2023 acquisition by Hillenbrand, Coperion Food and Performance Materials (FPM) has transitioned its name and brand to Coperion, effective Aug. 1, 2024.

Coperion, an operating company of Hillenbrand, brings 140 years’ experience in some of the world’s most critical processing industries, including support processing solutions for manufacturing in polymers/performance materials, food, health and nutrition, and aftermarket sales and services.

Coperion notes that its 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. 

Matthew Craig, Coperion’s vice president and general manager, added: “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. 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.
