The EuRec® Technology GmbH was founded in 1995 by experienced insiders who are specialized in environmental and recycling techniques as well as in machinery and plant engineering. EuRec® started as engineering company and developed machines with the aim to revolutionize the waste treatment sector and to make it more efficient. New, groundbreaking ideas were implemented by EuRec®s development department and a collection of know-how regarding the utilization of waste took place.

In spring 1996 EuRec® bought an insolvent manufacturer of shredders and integrated its development department and experienced skilled workers. Manufacturing started in a more than 10,000 qm large production hall with the building of shredders, e. g. for old timber applications. The hall provided enough space also to build larger machines and plants and to carry out test runs of complex treatment plants.
