When people think of TOPCORE, they often think of high-performance dextrin adhesives. But the truth is – we started with machines. Adhesives came second. From day one, we knew we could deliver more than components – we could provide complete, efficient production solutions.
1. Why we refocused on machinery
As demand for efficient production of paper tubes and protective edges grew, it was only natural to revive and expand our machinery division. This wasn’t just a return to our roots – it was a reinvention of how we think about industrial process integration.
“We’ve always believed we can build machines that matter – not just metal frames, but part of a broader system that works for the customer.”
— Zdeněk Vařejka, Co-founder, TOPCORE
2. What we developed in 2024
Paper tube manufacturing lines
Enhanced speed, accuracy, and operator safety. Robust design built to match high-speed production standards across the EU.
Automated splicers
Our newly developed electro-pneumatic splicer removes the need for manual paper joining – enabling smoother operations and minimizing downtime.
Precision glue mixers
When customers use our mixers with BLENDECO, the results are clearer: higher adhesive efficiency, fewer application errors, better performance.
“These upgrades allowed us to shift operators from the start of the line to more valuable tasks at the end – boosting productivity without increasing headcount. Learn why technical service matters more than price per ton.”
— Zdeněk Vařejka, Co-founder, TOPCORE
3. Customized distribution: No one-size-fits-all
We don’t work through dealers – we offer direct, custom-built solutions. Each machine is tailored to match the specific needs of our customer’s production line.
That means:
- Bespoke design for each operation
- Technical consulting included
- Competitive pricing with top-tier quality
Our strongest markets are in the EU, with a particularly strong presence in Poland, where we’ve already delivered numerous successful implementations.
4. Synergy between adhesives and machines
TOPCORE doesn’t just build. We understand the full process – from adhesive mixing to final product quality.
Customers using both our machines and adhesives benefit from:
- Optimized compatibility
- Reduced maintenance and downtime
- Fast, informed troubleshooting when needed
This end-to-end approach helps us see the big picture and deliver solutions that work across the entire production chain.
5. What’s next?
2024 laid the groundwork for our next generation of automation. Internally, we’ve already started testing what we call the “Coffee Machine” – a system for smart control and monitoring of machinery, soon to be integrated into our production ecosystem.
- New machines for paper tube and edge production
- Deeper digital integration with company-wide systems
- Greener technologies aligned with sustainability goals
