THE NEW ROWE VarioFold Compact folding machine.

Patented: offline becomes online.

More than half of all users of offline folding systems want to be able to fold online in the medium term. Up to now this has meant expensive re-construction of the folding system. With VarioFold Compact you can spare yourself this, thanks to its modular construction. This is the first folding machine worldwide that can be extended from offline to online with minimum outlay, even after it has already been put into operation. This guarantees you maximum security for your investment.

ROWE even goes a step further: whether it is the height adjustment that’s easy on your back, the whisper quiet folding, the patented endless folding or the user-specific folding programs – the VarioFold Compact can be extended at any time. This means it’s the first folding machine worldwide that grows with its user. A real innovation 'Made in Germany' – Made by ROWE.

Experience the fascination of ROWE. Simply make an appointment with the authorized dealer in your area.
