Vecoplan opens California location

Vecoplan LLC recently opened a new location in Eastvale, California, to serve its customers in the western U.S. and Mexico.

The new office is the third location for the company, which has its North American headquarters in North Carolina and a regional office in Indiana.

“The western states and northern Mexico—and Southern California in particular—has a multitude of manufacturing facilities in the markets we sell to,” says CEO Frank Boerjan. “Opening an office in California was the logical next step for us to support those customers and our growth strategy. This location is close to a network of major highways for our replacement part distribution and only 20 minutes from the Ontario [California] airport. Regional customers can easily access us for visits, and we can now service them more quickly in return.”

A Southern California customer officially anointed the in-house technology center with a plastics material shredding trial in April, Vecoplan says. The customer, which specializes in recycling complex, multilayered polymers, asked to remain unidentified because of its proprietary technology.

Also housed at this Vecoplan office is a team of service technicians. Bill Davison, vice president of operations, says the team travels regularly to Colorado, Arizona and Nevada for machine maintenance and system installation projects. “We are quicker to respond to the customers out here with this local team,” he says, noting they can drive or fly to customers in the West in half the time that our other location service techs can.

The company hosted a grand opening for the new location in March with local government officials and its German and U.S. leadership teams.

Vecoplan LLC is the North American subsidiary of Germany-based Vecoplan AG. The company is a global leader in manufacturing industrial and mobile shredding equipment and recycling systems for virtually any material, selling into plastics, wood, biomass, waste and recycling and waste-to-energy markets.
