Early in February, the China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released a new industrial directory for renewable recycling resources and technology, aimed to push the comprehensive utilization technology of renewable resources and recycling industry development in order to meet the twelve-five-year plan’s goal of sustainable growth.

Sharing the same insights of sustainability, Pallmann group, the world-leading German company in size reduction technology, captured the great opportunity and completed its official establishment of China regional headquarters in Beijing.

Registered as Pallmann Technology (Beijing) Co,. Ltd, the company will function as the legal and functional managing office for mainland China, including customer service, business development, market expansion, legal, financial and HR.

Together with the Shanghai branch office, the Pallmann China team is now over ten experts covering size reduction, process of plastics and recycling industries. Pallmann also launched its Chinese language website providing product application manual download, technical consultancy, and online sales enquiry. Chinese visitors can also get up to date company news and tradeshow schedules. The new Chinese website has brought in many new business leads since the day it was launched.

Rolf Gren, Pallmann Group Senior Executive Vice President and President Pallmann Technology (Beijing), said: "We think China’s recycling industry is a vast emerging market. With the governments attention and policy support, innovation and new technology will become a health trend for further growth".

As a global leader in recycling technologies, Pallmann China has lots to offer and the China expert team is ready to support local customers and partners with the most cutting-edge recycling technologies and quality solutions whether in wood, paper, plastic, rubber and tire, metal, fabric etc.

Zweibrücken, Germany (26 October 2011) – Bernd Huber has been appointed CFO of Pallmann Group, effective October 1. Pallmann is the world’s largest specialist manufacturer of machines for materials size reduction and processing technology.

Mr Huber is ideally qualified for this position because of his long business management experience in the machine construction sector, as well as working for associated automotive suppliers and also in the consumer goods industry.

His professional career has included 10 years as CFO and later as CEO of a medium-sized automotive supplier company which developed and manufactured automotive powertrain parts and modules for European car manufacturers. His work also embraced the company’s other area of expertise, mainly the development, manufacture and international distribution of hydraulic parts for machine construction.

Most recently, Mr Huber has been Head Group Controller for a global automotive supplier company. Here, the focus was on the manufacture at all 13 plants, with responsibility for the distribution/development and joint ventures for market development.

Heavy investments in the development of the most modern size reduction and process technologies for the wood processing industry are now paying off with numerous attractive international orders. Customers in Russia, Asia, South America and new European Union countries top the list. Pallmann’s order backlog now stretches into the final quarter of this year.

Pallmann, a family firm that has been operating in Zweibrücken, Germany, for over 100 years, has been consistently strengthening its international presence in the recent past. Now this specialist in size reduction technology is reaping the rewards. Orders have been flooding into its Wood Processing Division, especially from Russia and Asia. The company is now working on several attractive projects and registering a steep growth in sales. The main focus is on complex plants for the production of wood fiber or chips that are used in particle board, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), oriented strand board (OSB) and other wood-based products.

Aside from orders for a variety of individual machines, it is complete projects that are currently driving the steep rise in new orders. In Chile, for example, the Arauco group has ordered two complete timber yard plants with rotary bark strippers and chippers, and including the complete machining technology and grinding robot for its sites in Yangay and Teno. Also being delivered this year will be machining technology and timber yard technology for chipboard production by another customer,Yildiz Entegre in Manisa.

At its site in Mersin, Yildiz Entegre is taking delivery of a 66” refiner, as well as timber yard equipment that includes a drum-type bark stripper and drum chipper. In Mendoza, Argentina, a new particleboard plant operated by Cuyoplacas relies on Pallmann for rotary bark strippers and drum chippers, as well as its entire machining technology.

Another interesting major project for Pallmann is a new MDF plant in Apscheronsk, Russia. This incorporates a large refiner, wood chip washing system and complete timber yard. Delivery of the system is already underway. In the middle of this year, Pallmann also began shipping components of a new MDF line being installed by its Thai customer Rayong.

Back in Europe, Pallmann will deliver the core of a new plant based on two chippers for production of OSB in Radauti, Romania. Another OSB chipping line will be established in Turkey, the first of its type in the country.

Pallmann has taken a giant step ahead of the competition with an order from China: in Baouyuan, it will deliver and put into operation the first-ever OSB plant in Asia. Once again, the customer is relying on innovative machining technology from Zweibrücken.

The Pallmann Group is growing quantitatively and qualitatively in equal measure – not only in the timber industry, but also in its plastics, recycling and processing technology divisions. Regular heavy investments in technology as well as in its international distribution network have led to significant growth in incoming orders and an increase in the average order size. The complexity of the plant and machinery continues to increase. Moreover, the share of international orders is rising sharply, right through to the first-time introduction of new technologies in China and other Asian countries.

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.”
