On Tuesday, Dec. 10, WENDT CORPORATION, which provides shredding and separation recycling solutions, announced its strategic equity investment in Moros Industrias Hidraulicas, an equipment manufacturer based in Zaragoza, Spain. According to the press release, this investment marks a significant milestone in WENDT’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its global footprint, enhance manufacturing capabilities, and deliver competitively priced, CE-compliant solutions to the European market. 

Through this investment, WENDT can now manufacture its comprehensive range of products in Europe by leveraging the advanced manufacturing capabilities of Moros. These products include its full range of Automobile Shredders, Z-Box Air Classifiers, Magnet Stands, specialized Conveyors, Tumbleback Feeders and Sizing trommels. The collaboration ensures greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness, making WENDT’s solutions more accessible and competitive for European customers. 

“Our equity stake in Moros allows us to manufacture our full range of shredding and downstream equipment more efficiently and competitively in Europe,” said Tom Wendt, President of WENDT CORPORATION. “By shipping our equipment complete, inspected, and tested from the Moros facility, European customers can trust the quality and performance of their systems. Additionally, the alliance allows us to deliver localized parts and service, providing seamless support for both existing and new shredder installations across Europe.” 

The partnership also reinforces WENDT’s commitment to providing localized parts and service. This results in parts warehousing closer to operations, enabling quicker response times and exceptional support aligned with European time zones. 

Customers will further benefit from exclusive access to Moros’ state-of-the-art test center, featuring a WENDT 5050 shredder and a suite of advanced sorting technologies, including magnets, air classifiers, and sensor sorters. The facility allows customers to test their materials on-site, ensuring solutions tailored to their specific applications. 

“This partnership will elevate our already strong cooperation to another level. We know exactly what Moros brings to the table—top-quality manufacturing and localized service, which are what WENDT needs to replicate its North American success and become the market leader in Europe,” said Miguel Clavel, President of Moros. “Moreover, our collaboration enables us to offer these benefits at competitive prices. With world-class manufacturing facilities and a one-of-a-kind test center featuring a variety of shredders and downstream equipment, our joint customers can test materials and gather critical data before making an investment. Both companies share the same philosophy, making this partnership a natural step forward.”
