Wendt ready to take its technology global

US shredding and separation specialist Wendt Corporation has established an overseas branch, based in Germany. The European venture is hoped to accelerate the company’s global growth strategy.  

Wendt will leverage complementary resources of many European partners, including long-standing partnerships with MTB (France) and Moros (Spain) to support manufacturing in central Europe. The exclusive partnerships will aid in accelerating strategic delivery of the technology provider’s scrap processing plants throughout Europe and Asia, while also providing sales, service, and support directly from Europe.

The announcement comes after the company released international expansion plans with the promotion of Ethan Willard to Global Director of Business Development and the hiring of industry veteran Dennis Law in July.

‘As we can proudly call ourselves the market leader in North America with 45 years of experience, Wendt now shows our commitment to support global market demands for our shredder technology,’ Law says. Based out of Germany, he will also be responsible for the coordination of Wendt’s partners for the execution of projects and international sales and strategic agreements.

‘The organic growth we have experienced over the last ten years along with the strategic initiatives we’ve established have paved the way to the formation of Wendt GmbH,’ says company president Tom Wendt. ‘Our streamlined processes, growing partnerships, investments in best-in-class technology, and our European manufacturing capabilities all contribute to the strong foundation that will make us successful as we enter new global markets.’
