Metso Recycling adds parts inventory for shears and balers

Metso Recycling, based in San Antonio, reports that it has added a large parts inventory for scrap shears and balers at its distribution center in Columbia, South Carolina. With the new inventory, Metso says it intends to bring its solutions and services closer to its customers in North America.

In addition, the company says it will be able to better serve its customer base in the region, helping them to minimize downtime by supplying critical parts with shorter lead times.

Bob Pfeffer, product manager for shears and balers with Metso Recycling, says, “The installation of the scrap shear and baler parts inventory in Columbia is a central step in keeping our customer promise to deliver results by offering the highest availability and minimum downtime for their recycling operations. For our customers in North America, this means shorter lead times, lower freight charges and less potential equipment downtime waiting for parts. We are very pleased with this installation, as it cements our commitment to the North American market."

Combined with Metso Recycling’s durable, energy efficient and high production rate products, Metso says the installed parts inventory will allow the company to excel in providing customers with a solid choice in equipment selection.
