Core offering

RECOS machines buys used TRUMPF industrial machine tools (laser cutting tables, punch presses, combination machines, press brakes, tube lasers, and 3D machining centers) and fully refurbishes them at its 3,300 m² workshop in Schweighouse-sur-Moder to TRUMPF factory standards using original parts. Refurbished machines are resold at 40-60% of new equipment price with a 3-6 month warranty, accompanied by packaging, transport, installation, commissioning, training, preventive/corrective maintenance, remote-diagnostics repair, and original TRUMPF spare parts supply.

Product overview

RECOS machines is a specialized refurbishment services provider for TRUMPF machines, offering a comprehensive portfolio of second-hand/refurbished industrial metalworking equipment. The product range centers on five core machine categories: TruLaser CO2 and Fiber laser cutting tables, TruPunch/TC punching machines, TruMatic combination punching-laser machines, TruBend/V press brakes, and TruLaser Tube tube cutting machines, supplemented by TruLaserCell 3D machining centers. The ecosystem includes three TRUMPF automation systems (LiftMaster, LoadMaster, SheetMaster) for automated loading/unloading/sorting, programming software (TruTops Boost), spare parts and accessories, and LISSMAC deburring machines. Services include machine refurbishment, maintenance, repair with remote diagnostics capability, and certified operator training.

Broad incumbents

• Bystronic: Swiss manufacturer of laser cutting systems, press brakes, and automation — a direct head-to-head competitor to TRUMPF whose machines customers may choose instead of a refurbished TRUMPF. Shapes the new-equipment pricing benchmark against which RECOS's 40-60% refurbishment value proposition is measured.
• DMG Mori: Global machine tool OEM covering milling, turning, and laser-equipped machining centers. Adjacent competitor in the European metalworking equipment market; customers evaluating a TRUMPF refurbishment often also benchmark DMG Mori alternatives.
• TRUMPF: German parent OEM of the entire machine range that RECOS refurbishes (laser cutting, punching, press brakes, tube cutting). TRUMPF itself operates a certified used-machines program, making it both the supplier partner and a partial competitor for end-of-life and pre-owned TRUMPF equipment.
• Prima Power: Manufacturer of 2D/3D laser cutting machines, punch-laser combo systems, and press brakes; part of the Prima Industrie group. Overlaps directly with TRUMPF's installed base and with RECOS's core product categories in laser cutting and press braking.
• Amada: Japanese manufacturer of sheet metal fabrication machinery including laser cutters, press brakes, and punching machines. Competes with TRUMPF (and therefore with RECOS's refurbishment value) for the same industrial buyer at the new-equipment price point.
• Yamazaki Mazak: Japanese CNC machine tool manufacturer with strong European presence in laser cutting, turning, and machining centers. Competes for the same industrial capex budget that RECOS targets with refurbished TRUMPF equipment.
• LVD Group: Belgian manufacturer of press brakes, laser cutting machines, and punching equipment. Competes with TRUMPF (and therefore with RECOS's refurbished TRUMPF press brakes and laser tables) in the European sheet metal equipment market.
• Salvagnini: Italian manufacturer of flexible sheet metal fabrication systems (punch-laser combo machines, panel benders, FMS lines). Competes with TRUMPF and therefore with the refurbished TRUMPF alternative RECOS offers to European sheet metal fabricators.

Emerging players

• Exapro: Online marketplace for used industrial machinery serving European buyers and sellers. Adjacent competitor to RECOS for pre-owned machine tool transactions, though without certified-refurbishment positioning or TRUMPF-specific specialization.

Direct peers

• Surplex: European online auction house and marketplace for used industrial machinery, including metalworking equipment. Surplex competes directly with RECOS for industrial buyers seeking pre-owned machine tools, though without RECOS's certified refurbishment depth.
