Robert Ditrih
Starting from the ground up over 22 years ago, I have built a career specialising in equipment repair, overhaul, and preventative maintenance. My experience extends across advanced technologies including sensor sorters, eddy current separators, shakers, and screens. Progressing into a Group Maintenance Manager role, I led multiple teams across multiple sites, coordinating shutdowns, overseeing major repairs, and managing new equipment purchases and installations.
Stefan Lanzendorfer
My career begin with a leading Recycling Equipment Manufacturer in Europe, where I travelled extensively all over the world to oversee the design, installation, and commissioning of shears, balers, and shredders. Since relocating to Australia over a decade ago, I managed the Engineering division of a major Recycling Business, leading projects from complex overhauls to the installation of new machinery. My global perspective and technical insight makes me a trusted figure in the Recycling Industry.
Our Partnership
Having worked side by side in the industry for many years together, we have now established our own business to get back on the tools and provide direct support to customers across Australia. Whether it’s welding, mechanical repairs, engineering solutions, or full plant installations, our goal is to help recycling businesses achieve reliability, efficiency, and long-term success.
