RESSOR

What RESSOR does

RESSOR is a French engineering-led integrator and exclusive French distributor of European recycling equipment, headquartered in Nice and founded in 2004. The company aggregates best-in-class technologies from at least eight European partners — BARRADAS and BHS-Sonthofen (Germany, shredding/crushing), HAMOS (Germany, electrostatic and triboelectric separation), IFE (Austria, screening, magnetic, eddy current), LYNDEX (UK, baling), REDWAVE (Austria, XRF sorting), WESTERIA (Germany, air separation, conveying, hoppers), and ITALREC (Italy, plastic flotation) — and delivers them as combined turnkey recycling lines to French operators. Coverage spans the full recycling value chain: grinding, screening, air separation, magnetic and non-ferrous separation, electrostatic/triboelectric separation, X-ray sorting, baling, and material handling.

The company's commercial offering is organized around project-based direct sales and engineering-led consulting, including feasibility studies, equipment selection across multi-vendor stacks, project management, installation, commissioning, and after-sales service supported by a spare/wear-parts operation (notably for partner brands and competing makes via a partnership with Germany's BARRADAS). RESSOR also sells reconditioned used equipment and promotes the WESTERIA WeKea online conveyor configurator. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment sales and project-based turnkey line delivery, with no disclosed subscription, recurring, or licensing layer; pricing is custom and quote-based with no public price list.

RESSOR serves French recycling facility operators across at least twelve use cases: wood, cable, CSR (Combustible Solide de Récupération), demolition/construction waste (DCD), industrial bulk waste (DIB), WEEE/D3E, automotive shredder residue (RBA), incinerator bottom ash (mâchefers), tires, paper/cardboard, plastics, and ferrous/non-ferrous metals. End customers are exclusively enterprise operators in France. The company is founder-led by Andrea Garbarini (Gérant et ingénieur) with a lean ~10-person team, no disclosed external investors, no parent company, and no public listing.
