The EEI Group of Companies, Mahwah, N.J., is now offering the Trevi Benne line of pulverizers, shears, buckets and other hydraulic attachments.
EEI Group (formerly known as Enterprising Europa Inc.) has long represented the Socomec line of breakers and hammers to the North American market as well as the Gallmac tool-carrier, which can host up to 20 different attachments.
Since 2004, EEI Group has also offered products from CanAm Rock Drill designed to drill smaller holes through rock and concrete at job sites.
EEI Group subsequently purchased CanAm and its product line. According to EEI Group Vice President Roland Jarl, the CanAm product line allows users to drill into rock and concrete without the need for a large excavator acting as the tool carrier.
The drilling process offered by CanAm is designed to be cost effective and to work in tandem with another product offered by EEI Group—RockFrac non-explosive demolition agent. According to the EEI Group Web site, RockFrac, which has the consistency of mortar, provides a quiet, “safe, environmental friendly, non-explosive, easy-to-use and controllable” way to fracture rock and concrete.
The newest EEI Group line of equipment, Trevi Benne, is manufactured in Italy and includes a variety of attachments for demolition, scrap recycling and earth moving applications. Products include buckets (including screening buckets), shears, crushers and pulverizers.
The company was incorporated in 1992 although the Vaccaro family had been designing and building buckets for some 30 years already in the Veneto region of Italy.
Trevi Benne’s revenue has grown steadily since the company was started, with the company recording more than €15.8 million ($22 million) in sales in 2008.
Jarl says EEI Group has received interest in Trevi Benne’s scrap shears and pulverizers with replaceable jaw sets in from the North American market.
EEI Group will have a presence at several trade shows in early 2010, including the Association of Equipment Dealers (AED) meeting in January, the National Demolition Association Convention in March; and the C&D World event in March.
According to Jarl, the company’s display will feature a Trevi Benne product with interchangeable jaws that can be changed hydraulically in five minutes. “In this economy, that is going to be big,” says Jarl. “Customers can have more than one tool at one price and can buy additional jaws instead of a new tool to allow them to accomplish more.”
