About Sibe

USAEst. 1999

Sibe Automation was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Ocala, Florida. Built around a small team of engineers and craftsmen, the company grew steadily to place more than 450 machines in service across the globe, earning a reputation as a practical, value-oriented alternative to larger European thermoforming equipment builders. The company operates as Sibe Automation LLC and serves customers ranging from small fabrication shops to major industrial manufacturers.

Sibe Automation's core product lines center on sheet thermoforming and vacuum forming equipment. The SBS series covers single-station sheet vacuum formers in a range of forming areas, from compact 24-by-24-inch benchtop models up to large-format configurations exceeding 48 by 96 inches. The SBSP series adds pneumatic clamping and larger platen travel for heavier production work, while the SBDP series features the DV-1000 operator interface for multi-zone heater control. For continuous roll-fed production, the SBIL series comes equipped with a trim press, stacker, and unwind stand, and the HIL series offers a more budget-accessible inline option with automatic material advance and a cut-to-length slicer. Across all lines, machines use PLC-based controls with touchscreen interfaces, energy-efficient ceran glass infrared heaters, and soft-start sequences that reduce peak power demand by roughly 30 percent. Sibe Automation also manufactures pre-form plastic drying ovens and roller die cutters as companion equipment to its thermoforming lines.

Sibe Automation's equipment is used across a wide spectrum of industries. Documented end markets include packaging, medical device manufacturing, aerospace, electronics, automotive components, water management, plastics recycling, and metal fabrication. Customers range from electronics contract manufacturers producing protective trays and blisters to sign and display shops, recreational vehicle component makers, and custom thermoforming job shops.

Buyers seeking used Sibe Automation thermoforming machines are drawn to the brand's straightforward, all-aluminum and steel construction, readily available replacement parts, and PLC control systems built around widely supported Automation Direct hardware. The machines are known for ease of setup and operation, making them attractive for shops that need to retool quickly or run short production runs. Because Sibe Automation builds its machines with standard industrial components, maintenance costs on the used market tend to stay low, and the machines hold their utility well into secondary ownership.
