Moros, Kinshofer announce alliance

Moros Industrias Hidráulicas s.a., the Spanish manufacturer of shears and balers for the scrap recycling market, has entered into a North American distribution agreement with Kinshofer USA, based in Sanborn, New York. The announcement was made at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI) Convention & Exhibition in Vancouver, British Columbia, in April 2015.

Kinshofer, the maker of mobile shears, processors and other attachments for the scrap and demolition industries, now will be the distributor for Moros company products in the U.S. and Canada. Since the 1980s, Moros has sold several machines into North America, including the H-P-1400 model with angular side adjustable pre-compression box and the GC-S-800, a high-density vertical compression and cutting system able to process 60 metric tons per hour.

Moros has been in business for 60 years offering a wide range of stationary and mobile shears and balers. The company says its success has been customer driven either by matching the proper standard unit to an application or by custom building products to meet the needs of its customers around the world.

Kinshofer, similar to Moros, says it is focused on its customers, and “both companies are continually investing in R&D to assure they remain on the cutting edge of equipment technology,” they state in a joint news release. Both companies say they are “committed to offering [our] customers the latest technical advantages so their products will be reliable, efficient, safe and productive. Keeping operating costs down and ROI up are the primary goals of both firms.”

The North American distribution agreement marks the next step in an ongoing relationship between the two companies. “Kinshofer and Moros already collaborate in Brazil, Spain and other countries, and working together in the U.S.A. and Canada will only strengthen our relationship,” says Francois Martin, general manager of Kinshofer North America.

Moros will add another dimension to the Kinshofer line in North America and will be a natural fit for the markets both companies serve, say company officials. “Two great brands offering high-quality products with excellent sales, service and support will be a perfect combination,” says Diego Esteban López, Commercial Director of Moros. “Together we can only succeed.”
