Germany-based recycling industry software provider RECY Systems AG has entered into a joint venture contract with Beijing PMI Technology Co. The Beijing-based firm has been acting as RECY AG’s sales representative to the Chinese market since March.
PMI Technology General Manger Frank Huang is managing the joint venture company on behalf of RECY AG, including sales of the RECY software suite of applications and providing system implementation, consulting and local support services.
According to RECY Systems CEO Bernd Klarmann, the Chinese recycling industry is in full development, with new yards being opened on a monthly basis all over the country. With many of these facilities owned by steel mill firms and aluminum producers, Klarmann says the situation is “a perfect fit for RECY.”
Klarmann says RECY Systems AG already has licensed users in Beijing and Hong Kong. He also notes that RECY has long been available in multiple languages, and the firm recently has added Mandarin Chinese to that list.
Huang says the joint venture will be known as RECY Systems Beijing Co. Ltd. and he has started visiting with potential customers to begin displaying the Chinese-language version of the software suite. The firm also intends to interact with the industry at an aluminum recycling conference in August 2018.
