Sefmat group Specialist in velocity hot air weeding
The ability to develop innovative and secure products has allowed SEFMAT to create different brands in different sectors. The RIPACK® brand specialized in packaging, JETPACK® specialized in road marking, RIPACK SUPPLIES® in the protection of bulky industrial goods and finally, RIPAGREEN® for thermal weeding.
What all these markets have in common is a system that is unique worldwide, allowing the production of hot air over a large width with unequalled safety levels.
