The Company Guidetti S.r.l. was established in the 1980’s. It manufactures recycling plants and machines and has become a leading company in finding innovative solutions for the recycling of industrial waste (electric cable, household appliances, electronic equipment) and inerts coming from city recycling facilities. The machines are designed and manufactured by a team of experts who are able to take care of every single step of the production.
The machines included in the production range can be either standard or of special design according to the customer’s specific requirements, and are strictly designed in cooperation with the final user. All the machines Guidetti S.r.l. manufacture to meet the requirements of the recycling market, are enviromental friendly and allow the separation and recovery of raw materials from combined materials.
MTB Recycling sited near Lyon, in the culinary heart of France, plays a double role in the wire-chopping world, it’s both a leading processor within Europe and a worldwide manufacturer and supplier of equipment.
The company is both a major cable and wire processor and a leading machinery manufacturer, producing “prechopper” shredders, granulators, separators, and other equipment for customers all around the world.
Like many business success stories, this one began with a couple of entrepreneurs who hoped they had a better idea. In the 1970s, Francis Sevilla and Guy Sosson two mechanical engineers developed a slow-speed rotary shredder system that within half a year was processing 600 mt of cable a month.
From the beginning, MTB strove to be both a processor and machinery manufacturer and to benefit from this dual role. So as MTB simultaneously processed wire and developed wire-processing equipment, it could design and redesign the machinery to meet its needs as a user. This is one of the main ingredients of the company’s success. In operating their own plants, they have a good understanding of the problems of the industry and what solutions are required. The equipment designs were refined to a point where they not only competed with but also out-performed the norms of the industry.
As an equipment maker as well as a processor, MTB constantly revises and improves its machinery to meet its changing needs. Likewise, before MTB offers a new machine to customers, it first tests the prototypes on its own processing lines, sometimes for a year or more before putting the new unit on the market.
They have an entire processing plant that serves as their test center, unlike other suppliers, which may run tests on small lab units with results ‘scaled-up,’ tests at MTB are performed on a full-production basis. They and their customers, want to know real-world results.
