Globally recognised as one of the market leaders in top-loading packaging machines
Schubert has made modularity and flexibility its model for success.
Since 1966, Gerhard Schubert GmbH has been breaking new ground in packaging technology from its home in Crailsheim, Germany. The idea behind it is simple. Combine straightforward mechanics with intelligent controls, and build every line from nine standardised components: specialist robots, the Vision System, the Transmodul transport robot, the Flowmodul flow-wrapper, the VMS control system and more. The result is a machine that can package virtually any product and grows as your business does.
In the UK and Ireland, that technology is backed by Schubert UK Limited, which has operated from Birmingham Business Park since 2002. The team sits minutes from the airport, the rail network and the main motorways, so customers are never far away.
The numbers speak for themselves. Schubert UK has delivered more than 600 TLM frames and 2,500 robots to manufacturers including Premier Foods, Warburtons, Müller, Charlie Bighams, Patak’ s, Tunnock’ s,

KP Snacks, Danone, John West, Fox’ s Burtons and Haribo. Bakery, confectionery, snacks, dairy, beverage, pet food and healthcare producers all rely on Schubert lines to deliver flexibility, performance, efficiency and scalability. Because the system is modular, a line can be extended as demand grows rather than replaced.
It isn’ t only the big brands. Small and mid-sized manufacturers are now Schubert UK’ s fastest-growing market. Many once thought Schubert was out of reach, but the picture changes once they look at total operating costs and the value of a future-proofed line. For standardised tasks, the Lightline series of Cartonpacker, Pickerline and Flowpacker offers Schubert quality at a lower entry price and significantly reduced lead-times.
At the helm is Managing Director Mark Stepney, an engineer who joined in 2009 as Head of Operations and took over as Managing Director in 2012. He leads a loyal, tight-knit team across sales, service, technical support and administration. Long service is the norm, a reflection of Schubert’ s family-oriented culture.
When it comes to support, Schubert UK is local and on hand. Engineers and technicians assist customers anywhere in the UK and Ireland, on site or remotely via the 4YOUCONNECT customer portal. Dedicated Service Account Managers cover troubleshooting, spare parts, maintenance agreements and line modifications. Every engineer completes an intensive 4 – 8 week training programme at Schubert’ s German headquarters, and customers can book certified, tailor-made on-site training for their own engineers and operators.
Proven technology, a dedicated team and support close at hand: that’ s what Schubert UK brings to British and Irish manufacturing.
