About Europress Umwelttechnik
Europress Umwelttechnik GmbH was founded in Lathen, Lower Saxony, in 1993 and develops and manufactures solutions for compaction and sorting technology. The product portfolio includes stationary and mobile baler presses with pressing forces of 60 to 210 tons, scrap presses for aluminum waste, Two-Ram Balers for KMF compaction, conveyor technology, and automated sorting systems with throughput capacities of up to 100,000 tons of household waste per year. The company manufactures a large portion of the core components itself with high production depth, including in wear-resistant HARDOX construction, and offers general contractor services for complete sorting systems. Customers come from waste management, plastic recycling, paper & packaging, shipping & logistics, agriculture, document shredding, and KMF disposal in more than 40 countries. The offering is complemented by 24/7 service, a large spare parts warehouse, used machinery, the rental mobile unit, and the real-time monitoring system EP:Insight.

Service and Quality
Europress relies on wear part standardization across machine generations, a large spare parts warehouse, and a 24/365 hotline. Core components are predominantly manufactured in-house and are also reproduced after many years; the service for third-party products is independent of the manufacturer.
