The Pallmann Group, the leading specialist in size reduction technology, announces the appointment of Mr Uwe Wicht as Vice President of its newly-formed recycling division.

The appointment, which took effect on 1st September 2010, reinforces Pallmann’s increased focus on the recycling side of its business. In 2010 the Group consolidated its recycling activities into a separate division to manage its rapid growth within the industry.

Mr Wicht heads a global team from the recycling division’s headquarters in Zweibrücken, Germany. He brings with him a strong background in senior management within the machine manufacturing industry, particularly the waste and recycling sectors.

Pallmann’s recycling division manufactures machines for, among other applications, the processing of wood, paper, tyres, batteries, metals, plastics, glass, cable, foam, e-scrap and fibreglass.

It recently launched a pioneering new shearing ledge shredder – the Puma – which enables fine and coarse shredding of abrasive products such as plastic containers, rubber parts, plastic film, recovered paper and cardboard containers.

“Pallmann is an innovative company, with the sector’s largest research and development team committed to creating machinery and systems that support the latest needs in recycling,” comments Uwe Wicht, Vice President Recycling Devision. “We are growing quickly in this industry and, as we progress, intend to develop new systems for optical sorting as well as our more traditional machinery. I am pleased to join the company as it moves into a new phase of its development.”

 
The family-owned Pallmann Group manufactures custom-made size-reduction machines and complete systems for flaking, cutting, pulverising, pelletizing, agglomerating, micronising, fractionating, and recycling. It has a staff of 700 employees worldwide, production facilities in Germany and Brazil, and sales offices in the USA, China and Russia. Around 80% of its machines are exported, of which 50% go to European countries.
