A word from our chairman

When my father Alton Newell founded our family business more than 86 years ago, he printed a business card that carried his motto:“ we will treat you right“. That has been a guiding philosophy of our companies from the beginning until now.

I am proud that my father invented the modern shredding machine and I am proud that almost every shredder being built in the world today has adopted most, if not all, of the design features that were first used in Newell Shredders.

It has been my personal responsibility to operate 1, or up to 10 shredding plants, to make profits from those operations, on a daily basis since 1960. The president of NRE, Scott Newell III, has been operating shredding plants for more than 40 years. During recent years, shredder plants owned and operated by Newell family members have produced more than1,000,000 tons per year of shredded scrap.

Operating shredding plants for profit has provided us with the desire and motivation to maximize the efficiency of daily operations in order to get the most return for the investment in money and especially in time spent operating the equipment.

This operation of shredders provided the motivation that led us to be pioneers in the separation of the products of the shredding system. In 1974, we began to use heavy media to separate non ferrous metals from the product stream. In 1984, we were among the first in the industry to use eddy current separations and also sensor sorting to increase the value of the non-ferrous metals recovered. The air separation systems that evolved through the constant search for better and more efficient separations continue to lead the industry. No one and no other group have even close to the operating experience, the manufacturing experience nor the experience of teaching others how to operate efficiently as we do.

All of the lessons learned while operating those machines are included in the designs of current shredder plants which are being designed, built and installed for our many customers around the world from here at Newell Recycling Equipment. When you buy equipment from NRE, you get the benefit of all of the evolutionary improvements that have been made through the years.

Our design philosophy follows one guiding rule: we will follow the design that yields the lowest cost per ton through out the life of the equipment. That means that sometimes the original price is higher or lower than alternative designs, but we believe that it will, for sure, offer the best value to the new investment.

Thank you for your interest.

Chairman
