Bofar to supply custom equipment to the recycling industry

Machinefabriek M. Bronneberg BV (MBH), which is based in the Netherlands, and Faron van Lieshout established Bofar BV Feb. 7, 2018, to provide custom 3D-design of parts, components and complete installations, as well as custom installations that fall outside the regular scope of available recycling and separation machinery. Bofar also holds the rights to install HIS separation technology.

Van Lieshout has been with MBH for more than five years and has been instrumental in the development and production of HIS technology, which separates gold and platinum group metals from shredded waste and scrap. He has been in charge of the R&D and production departments at MBH for a number of years and will now be a major shareholder and chief operating officer in Bofar.

MBH has a long history that dates back to the smithy of the great-grandfather of today’s owner and CEO Boris Bronneberg. The company was established in Helmond, Netherlands, in 1907. In 1946, the machine factory opened its doors, and the company has been in family hands since, though inactive for a number of years toward the end of the previous century.

After serving in positions at large international recycling companies between 1994 and early 2006, Bronneberg acquired the shares of MBH in 2006 and has expanded the business, starting M. Bronneberg Handelsmij BV in the same year. The latter company trades special metals and precious metals and concentrates gold and platinum group metals from shredded materials using HIS technology and eddy current systems.
