Varius

The start of a successfull company story, the first GABLER thermoforming machine for the production of cups and lids.

The next logical step, the 1st pure lidding machine,
our Gabler-D350.

The F743, the first machine suitable for
large-scale production, has been launched.

GABLER as a co-founder of tilting technology - still a unique selling point in the moulding station today. A masterpiece of technology in the cup production business, the M-Line is launched on the market.

D600, the machine that was a novelty in the field of lidding machines for more than a decade. Whether transparent, coloured or pre-printed film, everything was possible. Unbeaten in terms of output and in the processing of pre-printed film during this time.

A machine that can handle all product types, whether cups, trays or lids was established. The compact machine for beginners or highly flexible customers. Still unbeatable today in terms of flexibility and fast mould changes.

A new market is opened up and the US market becomes a great success story for GABLER. For a quarter of a century now, US customers have appreciated GABLER technology.

Based on the successful F743, it has now been further developed as a steel strip machine. The VARIUS SR is still a unique and highly productive machine today.
