The company’s manufacturing and assembly facility in Archdale was expanded by 7,000 square feet in late 2019 and early 2020 to increase production capacity for the mobile shredding market.
“After making available a truck product with a ‘pierce-and-tear᾿ shredder, the uptick in sales meant we needed more space for production,” Vecoplan LLC Chief Operating Officer Len Beusse says. “Our single-shaft-rotor shredder is still available and continues to be available to those that need versatility and high-security shredding. With the combined sales volume of the two products, we needed to add the square footage to support our customer pipeline.”
The facility expansion comprises a production line to accommodate up to five trucks, one for each stage of assembly. “Whether we have one customer order for five trucks or five orders for one truck, our order-to-delivery time has been shortened significantly,” Plant Manager Mike Dawkins says. “The discrete workflow system is a hybrid between batch and repetitive and can favor one or the other processes depending on the customization required. This is optimal for serving our customers.”

In addition to facility expansion, the company has hired two new salespeople.
Keith Coker is based in the Dallas area and covers the central regions of the U.S. and Canada. He joins Vecoplan after spending several years at a large national document shredding services provider. His involvement in running approximately 60 routes per day gained him intimate knowledge of mobile shredding operations, according to the manufacturer.
In the west, Sean Eliot, based in Southern California, brings 10 years of recycling industry experience to Vecoplan customers. He specializes in turnkey size-reduction solutions, focusing on affordability and practicality, Vecoplan says. Eliot also focuses on increasing productivity and subsequent profitability for the paper market. He covers the western U.S. and Canada for mobile and plant-based paper shred markets.
Vecoplan LLC is a subsidiary of Vecoplan AG, Germany. The company is a leading manufacturer of industrial and mobile shredding systems, selling into plastics, wood, biomass, recycling and waste and waste-to-energy markets.
