Miramar Beach, Florida-based U.S. Shredder and Castings Group has announced that, together with its main castings supplier, it is investing to increase its castings capacity to the automobile and scrap shredder market. The company says it also will offer new types of hammers as a result of the investment.
The investment should increase the company’s capacity by as much as 30 percent. The new capacity will represent import hammers as well as those castings produced in North America.
“The decrease in presence in the market of several traditional suppliers of castings has given us the largest market share we have enjoyed in the last nine years,” US Shredder President Bill Tigner says. “We felt an investment now together with our main casting supplier will have us poised to present lower lead times as well as higher quality for our customers when the market turns around.
Tigner adds, “The increase in capacity also includes the new offering of ‘differentially heat-treated’ hammers as well as a special alloy hammer we have developed.”
The US Shredder and Castings Group offers scrap shredders, control systems, downstream systems, nonferrous recovery technology and air systems, as well as shredder castings, service, engineering, construction and installation, to the worldwide scrap industry.
