What Advanced Equipment Sales does
Advanced Equipment Sales (AES) is a US-based B2B industrial equipment integrator providing turnkey scrap collection, baling, and dust control systems to North American manufacturers and recyclers. The company's technology portfolio centers on the proprietary AirShark™ rotary air material separator (a US-made alternative to traditional cyclones and screen separators), supported by pneumatic air conveyance systems, a full range of industrial balers (vertical, horizontal, two-ram auto-tie, specialty, briquetters), NFPA-compliant dust collection systems, and complementary equipment including compactors, conveyors, shredders, motor control centers, spark detection/fire suppression, and fresh air intake systems. AES also sells used/refurbished equipment and offers a Film & Bag Capture System targeted at Material Recovery Facilities.
The business model combines capital equipment sales (new and refurbished hardware) with high-margin recurring and project-based revenue streams: turnkey engineering and installation, 24/7 emergency breakdown service, preventive maintenance and repair contracts, replacement parts and baling wire, and NFPA combustible dust compliance consulting. All pricing is quote-based, customized to facility requirements and scope. Customers span six verticals — Packaging & Paper Converting, Corrugated Box Manufacturing, Printing & Finishing, Distribution Center & Logistics, Secure Destruction, and Recycling & Solid Waste — and include named enterprise accounts such as International Paper, HB Fuller, PaperWorks Industries, Seaboard Folding Box, TAVO Packaging, UN1F1ED² Global Packaging, and Rumpke Waste and Recycling.
AES operates three physical locations (Souderton PA headquarters, Newton NC via parent REI, and Fort Worth TX via REI) and was acquired by Recycling Equipment Inc. (REI) on September 10, 2025, becoming part of the REI family of companies. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by content marketing (case studies, blog, articles), quote-request web forms, and industry association partnerships with TAPPI and AICC. There is no disclosed third-party reseller channel; customer acquisition is direct B2B. President Jeff Dietterich leads the company.
