Outside of the food industry, the company is a trusted partner to manufacturers of packaged explosives, adhesives, sealants and other industrial products. TIPPER TIE is part of the FoodTech segment of JBT Corporation (NYSE: JBT).TIPPER TIE was founded in 1952 on one man's revolutionary idea: the invention of the first successful labor-saving clip and tying machine for casings. The company was named TIPPER TIE after one of the company's co-founders, Maynard Tipper. In 1994, TIPPER TIE acquired Technopack, based in Glinde (Hamburg), Germany. Technopack had an equally impressive history in the packaging industry, having introduced the first clipping machines and clip seals to the German and European market in 1960. The TIPPER TIE family grew once again in 2000, with the acquisition of Swiss-based Alpina. With this move, TIPPER TIE gained high-speed double clippers, an automated hanging line for sausage production, bowl choppers and a heat-seal clipping system.Today, TIPPER TIE offers the following full line solutions: • Processing machinery: fine cutters/emulsifiers• Packaging machinery: full range of clippers, netting and clipping systems, poultry bagging and clipping systems • Automation solutions: hanging systems, heat seal and clip systems • Consumables: premium quality clips, high strength loops, cutting sets and knivesWorldwide manufacturing has enabled TIPPER TIE to significantly expand its global reach, while providing exceptional service to customers in a variety of industries.
