Eagle International

What Eagle International does

Eagle International designs and manufactures hydraulic-powered tire recycling equipment, including tire shears, debeaders, derimmers, balers, sidewall cutters, and the OTR Downsizing System, with a product line of 16 machines capable of processing tires from ATV size through 59/80R63 mining tires. The company's core technology centers on hydraulic cutting systems with PLC-controlled automation, including patented machines such as the Tru-Cut Tire Cutter, OTR Debeader, Punch Cutter, and Edge 360 — the latter being the first machine capable of producing rubber mulch from OTR tires. Equipment is built to order in a 60,000 sq ft facility in Lyons, Nebraska, with configurable power options (electric, diesel, gas, propane) in portable or stationary formats.

The company generates revenue through one-time hardware sales of capital equipment, priced via custom quotes rather than published list pricing. Sales occur through direct corporate sales from the Lyons headquarters and an international network of certified dealers now covering 13 countries across North America, South America, Africa, Europe, and Oceania, with equipment installed in approximately 27-28 countries. Primary customer segments are tire recycling operators, mining enterprises handling large OTR tires, industrial energy / tire-derived fuel producers, and construction / civil engineering buyers using baled tire material.

Eagle International operates as a division of Brehmer Mfg., Inc., a privately held family-owned industrial manufacturer founded in 1974 by Rey Brehmer and now led by the second and third generations of the Brehmer family. The company has no institutional investors or external funding and has grown organically through product innovation, patent accumulation since 1994, and incremental dealer network expansion, with no subsidiaries and no disclosed M&A activity beyond the 2017 acquisition by Brehmer Mfg.

Direct peers

• WEIMA: German manufacturer of shredders and briquette presses serving recycling markets including tires and rubber. Competes with Eagle in providing size-reduction equipment to tire recyclers and processors, with strong European distribution.
• Rotochopper: US manufacturer of grinding and size-reduction equipment for rubber, wood, and other materials. Competes with Eagle in the downstream processing of tires (including rubber mulch and crumb rubber), an area where Eagle launched the Edge 360 in 2021.
• UNTHA Shredding Technology: Austrian manufacturer of industrial shredders for waste and recycling applications including scrap tires. Direct competitor to Eagle in the size-reduction stage of tire recycling, with global dealer reach similar to Eagle's footprint.
• Granutech-Saturn Systems (MTB Recycling): Designs and manufactures tire shredding, granulating, and processing systems. A direct competitor to Eagle in tire recycling equipment, addressing similar scrap-tire processors and recyclers with a complementary product line (shredders/granulators versus Eagle's cutters/debeaders).
• Eldan Recycling: Danish manufacturer of tire and cable recycling equipment including shredders, granulators, and steel separation systems. A direct competitor to Eagle serving the same global tire recycler customer base with a comparable full-line equipment offering.
• Shred-Tech: Canadian manufacturer of shredding and size-reduction systems for tires, MSW, and industrial waste. Competes with Eagle in the downstream shredding stage of tire recycling, often integrating with pre-processing equipment like Eagle's shears and debeaders.
• Vecoplan: German manufacturer of industrial shredders and processing equipment, including tire and rubber applications. Direct competitor in the tire size-reduction equipment market, serving recycling processors across Europe and globally.
• SSI Shredding Systems: US-based manufacturer of industrial shredders and size-reduction equipment, including systems for scrap tires. Targets the same tire recycler and waste processor customers as Eagle with a complementary shredding-focused product line.

Broad incumbents

• Metso: Global mining and aggregates equipment and services supplier. As a broad incumbent serving mining customers that also purchase Eagle OTR downsizing systems, Metso represents the larger ecosystem of mining capex that influences Eagle's core market demand.
• Caterpillar: Global mining and construction equipment OEM that, while not a tire recycling equipment maker, is a critical counterpart to Eagle's OTR Downsizing System customers. Caterpillar's mining equipment installed base creates the demand for OTR tire recycling solutions that Eagle addresses.
