| Vecoplan Midwest's new 18,180-square-foot facility is located in New Albany, Ind. |
Vecoplan Midwest, a subsidiary of High Point N.C.-based Vecoplan LLC, has relocated to an 18,180-square-foot facility located in New Albany, Ind. Bill Miller, COO of Vecoplan Midwest, says the continuing growth of the company’s shredder sales and service business and the introduction of briquetters, pellet mills and complete pelletizing systems in 2010, necessitated the move.
Vecoplan shredders are used in industrial recycling, while its briquetting and pelletizing systems are used in the production of alternative fuels. “In order to meet the demands of sales and production, we’ve tripled our staff in the last six years. So we’re delighted to move into this new space and are excited to be a part of the growing recycling and alternative energy markets in North America,” Miller says.
In addition to 2,000 square feet of office space, the new facility houses a 10,180-square-foot machine rebuild center and a 6,000-square-foot test lab/show room space, where customers can send materials to be shredded, briquetted or pelletized. “Customers are always welcome to visit and see their material being processed from start to finish,” Miller adds.
A subsidiary of Vecoplan LLC, Vecoplan Midwest was formed in 2006 to serve Vecoplan’s customers throughout the Midwest. Vecoplan Midwest maintains more than $1 million in parts inventory for shredders, as well as pellet mills and briquetters, and has technicians who are available for on-site repairs or preventative maintenance on all makes and models of Vecoplan shredders. Along with sales of new Vecoplan shredders and ancillary equipment, Vecoplan Midwest rebuilds shredders, providing warranties on all rebuilt machines.
In 2010 Vecoplan Midwest added briquetters and pellet mills to its product offering and now designs, builds and installs turnkey systems for pelletizing wood, woody biomass, agriculture products, paper, plastics, MSW (municipal solid waste) and virtually any solid alternative fuel requiring increased bulk densities or better convey ability, the company says.
