Under an exclusive marketing agreement, Harris will market and service the Italian-made Ecotecnica line of balers, loggers and shears in North America, South America, Asia and Australia.

Ecotecnica manufactures and supports a line of baler/logger/shears and balers in the range of 500 tons to 800 tons of shear force. The products can be outfitted with electric or diesel motors and can be well configured as stationary, mobile or transportable units.

Kenneth Galason, president of Harris states, “The reliable performance of the machinery Harris sells is crucial to our success. In our discussions with Ecotecnica, it was clear that their service, parts and technical support was superior and gives Harris customers a significant advantage.”
