S+S Inspection Inc., part of the Germany-based S+S Separation and Sorting Technology Group, has seen a significant expansion to its North American business, with its customers in a range of industries, from plastics molding and recycling to food and pharmaceuticals. As a step to ensure it meets its before- and after-sales service, S+S Inspection has relocated its headquarters from Niagara, N.Y. to more centrally located Bartlett, Ill., about 20 minutes from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.
The move and organization of the new facility was managed by S+S North America General Manager Werner Fleps, who is responsible for S+S’s North American business operations, including the company’s enhanced design and manufacturing capability.
The new building incorporates an optical sorting line for its customers in the recycling industry and an applications laboratory with a complete range of X-ray inspection and metal detection equipment for customers in the food and plastics industry.
In a release, S+S says it offers total sorting capability using advanced, proven technology; and the company’s recycling demonstration line can process customers’ material in quantity to prove the economic and technical feasibility of the complete process.
In-house design and production engineering capability has been expanded with the move to the new location. The customer service center, also based in Bartlett, provides a first line contact with its customers for after sales and technical support. To enable S+S to provide the quickest possible delivery of both new equipment and spares, the company says that both the machine and spares inventories have been significantly increased.
The company also says that due to its growth, it has added to its sales and distribution capability with the appointment of Tracey Hartje and Tony Rampino.
