Conservit Inc. and STEINERT: A Long-Standing Partnership Transforming Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling
Conservit Inc., a leading player in the non-ferrous metal recycling industry based in Hagerstown, Maryland, USA, has been reaping the benefits of a 50-year partnership with STEINERT. This strategic alliance has significantly enhanced the performance and operational efficiency of Conservit's recycling plants [1].
In 2021, Conservit Inc. expanded its fleet of separation machines from STEINERT for its non-ferrous metal plant. The acquisition was based on factors such as cost-effectiveness, performance, and equipment quality [2]. Since its installation, the STEINERT equipment has been operating efficiently, contributing to Conservit's high-performance and recovery rates [3].
The partnership with STEINERT has allowed Conservit to leverage advanced sorting technologies, resulting in high-quality metal recovery. A benchmarking exercise demonstrated this, with Conservit's equipment outperforming a competitor, despite having fewer sorting devices, in recovering metallics from auto shredder residue [1]. This superior performance is attributed to the precision and maintenance of Conservit's systems.
STEINERT's ongoing operational support is another key factor in the success of this partnership. Quarterly performance assessments and rapid problem-solving communication ensure continuous improvement and system optimization [1][3]. The growing fleet of STEINERT equipment at Conservit's Mid-Atlantic region facility has also enabled them to upgrade material handling capabilities and expand their service offerings [3][5].
The collaboration between Conservit and STEINERT has not only transformed Conservit from a smaller, outdated facility into a modern and successful non-ferrous sorting plant, but it has also opened up the growing national market for high-quality mixed fragmented metals for Conservit Inc. [1].
Ross Meadema, STEINERT's long-time contact person for Metzner and Conservit, praises Conservit's maintenance of separation equipment. He commends the plant for its usage, maintenance, and workforce [4]. Metzner, Conservit's CEO, asserts that this long collaboration with STEINERT has been instrumental in transforming the non-ferrous metal treatment plant from small and outdated to successful [6].
Metzner also expresses full trust in STEINERT and Ross Meadema, feeling valued as a client by STEINERT. He comments that STEINERT's monitoring and service every three months has been crucial in maintaining the relationship with Conservit [7]. The collaboration between STEINERT and Conservit is currently being further tested through a trial with an operator of a treatment and fragmentation plant [8].
Conservit remains loyal to STEINERT due to the equipment's ability to prevent downtime, high resistance, long lifespan, and excellent customer service [9]. This long-standing partnership between Conservit and STEINERT reflects a successful, collaborative effort focused on enhancing non-ferrous metal recycling plant performance and output quality [1][3][5].
- The long-standing partnership between Conservit Inc. and STEINERT, established in the non-ferrous metal recycling industry, has led to an expansion in Conservit's business, as they now offer high-quality mixed fragmented metals in the growing national market.
- This partnership, exemplifying a successful collaboration, has not only improved the performance and operational efficiency of Conservit's recycling plants through the use of technology, but also fostered a relationship built on finance, as Conservit continues to invest in STEINERT's separation machines due to their cost-effectiveness and quality.
