Shibuya Hoppmann began as the Hoppmann Corporation in 1955, earning a reputation for building reliable and innovative feeding and parts-handling equipment. In 2005, the company was acquired by Shibuya Corporation of Japan, forming Shibuya Hoppmann Corporation. This partnership brought together American engineering and Japanese precision, expanding the company’s capabilities into complete automation and packaging systems. Today, Shibuya Hoppmann operates across North America with headquarters in Virginia and additional engineering and manufacturing facilities that support customers in packaging, medical, pharmaceutical, food, and consumer product industries.
Shibuya Hoppmann is best known for its expertise in material handling—designing equipment that moves, orients, and prepares parts for the next step in production. Their product range includes centrifugal feeders, vibratory feeders, prefeeders, and hoppers, each designed for continuous, high-speed part orientation and delivery. The company also manufactures complete unscrambling systems, parts placement and assembly systems, robotic integration solutions, and labeling or packaging modules that can be adapted for automated lines. Every system is engineered to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and integrate seamlessly with downstream processes such as filling, sealing, or inspection.
In addition to standard machines, Shibuya Hoppmann provides custom-engineered systems for challenging materials or complex part geometries. Their designs emphasize gentle part handling, easy maintenance, and precision timing for consistent flow. With decades of automation experience, they have become a trusted name for manufacturers that require dependable feeding, sorting, and packaging performance.
