Bano Recycling

What Bano Recycling does

Bano Recycling s.r.l. is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1988 and headquartered in Campodarsego, Padova. The company designs and builds a broad portfolio of recycling and material-processing equipment — including slow-speed hi-torque single-shaft shredders (PREMAC HYDRO), primary shredders (RIPPER FRANK, ROTARY SHEAR, STALLION), secondary shredders (MAC-S, FAST-CUT, RAFF, FINE-CUT), mobile shredders (FURY, RHINO, BEAST), vertical and horizontal mills and pulverizers, and densimetric separation equipment (Zig-Zag Separator, Air Tables / SD Separators). It operates what it describes as the biggest Recycling Test Center in Italy at its headquarters, allowing customers to trial materials on its machines before purchase.

Bano sells turnkey recycling plants across at least eight vertical end-uses: aluminium, steel, copper cables, automotive shredder residue (ASR), electric motors, e-waste/WEEE, industrial and municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, plastics, biomass, rubber, and paper/data shredding. The company reaches enterprise customers through a direct field-sales motion, supported by a North American office in Hamilton, Ontario, and complementary digital channels (YouTube, Facebook, corporate website). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of new equipment, with secondary streams from spare parts, professional services (installation, maintenance, retrofit, R&D), and pre-owned/refurbished equipment (including non-Bano brands such as VECOPLAN and TPA). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company is a privately held Italian limited liability company (s.r.l.) with declared share capital of €120,000, 11–50 employees, and no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, or external institutional investors. It maintains industry memberships in ISRI/REMA and the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR). No revenue, headcount growth, funding rounds, M&A, or leadership-change data have been disclosed in the available source material.

Direct peers

• Vecoplan: German-headquartered manufacturer of industrial shredders and recycling systems for wood, plastics, metals, and waste. Direct competitor to Bano across single-shaft and rotary shredders; notably Bano even resells pre-owned Vecoplan machines, confirming product/market overlap.
• SSI Shredding Systems: US-based manufacturer of industrial shredders and size-reduction equipment for metal, e-waste, paper, plastics and MSW. Closest North American competitor to Bano, particularly relevant given Bano's Hamilton, Ontario expansion push.
• Untha Shredding Technology: Austrian manufacturer of industrial shredders (single-shaft, four-shaft, rotary) serving waste, wood, metal and MSW markets. Comparable product portfolio to Bano's PREMAC HYDRO, RIPPER FRANK and twin-shaft mobile lines, serving the same scrap-yard and MRF customers.
• Shred-Tech: Canadian manufacturer of industrial shredders and destruction systems headquartered in Cambridge, Ontario. Direct competitor sharing Bano's North American backyard, with overlapping mobile and stationary shredder product lines for metal scrap and e-waste.
• Hammermills International: US manufacturer of hammermills, shredders and crushing equipment for metal recycling, scrap processing and aggregate markets. Comparable size and product category to Bano, with overlap in metal-scrap shredding applications.
• Erdwich Maschinenbau: German manufacturer of industrial shredders (single-shaft, twin-shaft, hammer mills) for recycling of metal, e-waste, plastics and hazardous waste. Closely aligned with Bano's portfolio of primary/secondary shredders and hazardous/e-waste use cases.
• Lindner-Recyclingtech: German/Austrian manufacturer of shredders, granulators and complete recycling systems for plastics, wood, MSW, and metal scrap. Directly competes with Bano across stationary shredders and downstream separation, especially in European metal-recycling plants.
• Guidetti S.r.l. Italian manufacturer of compact cable recycling granulators and metal-recycling systems. Smaller Italian peer with overlap on copper-cable, electric-motor and small-scrap recycling applications served by Bano's mills and separation equipment.

Broad incumbents

• Danieli: Italian-headquartered global metals engineering and equipment supplier. While focused on primary steelmaking, Danieli also serves metal-recycling and scrap-processing segments in Europe — overlapping with Bano's aluminium/steel/copper customer base.
• Metso: Finnish global industrial machinery group serving mining, aggregates, and metal recycling with crushers, shredders and material handling. A broader incumbent competing for large plant orders where Bano's sub-scale offering may be at a disadvantage.
