Stadler America, Becker form partnership

Stadler America LLC, headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina, has formed a partnership with Columbia, South Carolina-based Becker Complete Compactor. Under the arrangement, Becker will service and sell Stadler America systems in the Southeast. The two companies signed the partnership in June 2014.

Stadler designs, manufactures and installs MRFs for a wide range of materials. Its systems include single stream, municipal solid waste, commingled materials, commercial and industrial waste, plastic bottles and lightweight packaging, as well as paper and OCC (old corrugated containers).

Stadler America is a joint venture between the German company Stadler Anlagenbau GmbH and Zimmer America Recycling Solutions.

Roland Zimmer, CEO of Stadler America, says that the partnership established with Becker is part of a strategy the company is undertaking to expand its sales and service partnerships throughout North America. Zimmer notes that the company is seeking to have partnerships established that would provide national coverage within the 12 months. The company also says it expects to increase the number of people on staff through next year.

One area that Zimmer says the company is seeing growing interest is in the plastics recycling sector, especially its ballistic separators.

Becker sells and services Marathon balers and compactors. Over the past 20 years Becker has developed strong relationships in the waste and recycling industry throughout the Southeast. The company’s service area includes both North and South Carolina, as well as parts of Georgia.

The company also offers installations, repairs and maintenance on all makes and models of waste and recycling equipment.
