Retec Equipment Ltd

What Retec Equipment Ltd does

Retec Equipment Ltd is a UK-incorporated (Company No. 11935259), family-owned distributor founded in 2019 that holds exclusive rights to sell Sandvik mobile crushing and screening equipment across the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company sells a full portfolio of Sandvik tracked and wheeled mobile jaw crushers (QJ241, QJ341), scalpers (QE141, QE241, QE342, QE442), and screeners featuring Sandvik's patented Doublescreen technology (QA335, QA441, QA442, QA451, QA452), alongside a secondary market in used equipment listed via MachineryTrader. All units are commissioned on customer sites by qualified Sandvik technicians who are certified to train end users, and the business operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Retec Spares, that distributes genuine Sandvik spare parts (including legacy Extec components) from three strategically located depots in Chertsey (Surrey), Ripley (Derbyshire), and Galway (Ireland).

The company serves quarrying operators, aggregate producers, and recycling firms processing construction and demolition waste, with enterprise field sales conducted through Area Sales Managers covering distinct UK and Irish territories under Director Ronan Herity. Revenue is generated through three streams: new equipment sales (high-ticket capital hardware, quote-based pricing with multi-year contract cadence), spare parts distribution from the depot network, and aftersales commissioning and technical support services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base is enterprise-oriented, with Fox Group — a Blackpool-based integrated construction materials provider — publicly identified as a multi-decade relationship that recently took delivery of six Sandvik mobile jaw crushers.

The business is privately held by the Herity family with no external institutional funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries other than Retec Spares. Reported headcount sits in the 1–10 range, though the visible organisational structure includes sales, parts, executive, and administrative functions across the three territories. Geographic scope is limited to GBR and IRL, with no disclosed international expansion.

• Blue Machinery (Scotland): UK-based distributor of mobile crushing and screening equipment serving quarrying and recycling operators. Directly comparable to Retec as a regional equipment distributor with similar customer base and product focus, though it carries a broader portfolio of OEM brands rather than being exclusive to a single supplier.

Emerging players
