Avis Industrial Announces Formation Of Recycling & Waste Equipment Div. Upland, Indiana based Avis Industrial Corporation has an- nounced the formation of its Recycling & Waste Equipment Division, which brings together three wholly owned Avis subsidiaries: American Baler Company, Harris Waste Man- agement Group and International Baler Corporation. The three companies, which have been in business for a combined 289 years, offer the largest breadth of recy- cled materials baling solutions, operate four manufactur- ing locations, and support the largest global installed base of balers for recyclables. While each company will contin- ue to operate individually, the new structure will bring to market unmatched recycling and waste compaction solu- tions. As a result of the divisional focus, the individual busi- nesses will realize benefits through best practices sharing, process standardization, organizational optimization and consolidated corporate reporting. “We began building our ownership position in these companies back in 1979,” says Greg King, president and CEO of Avis. “As an industrial holding company focused on long-term investment and growth, Avis is committed to optimizing the value and solutions these companies offer to their customers and team members. Our capital base allows us to support their business operations, which en- sures unmatched support for their customers.”

“We are pleased to announce that D.J. VanDeusen will serve as the president of the Recycling & Waste Equip- ment Division in addition to his current role as President and General Manager of Harris,” King says. Dave Kowales- ki, President and General Manager of American Baler, and Roger Griffin, President and General Manager of Interna- tional Baler, will continue in their leadership roles and pro- vide support for the integration activities associated with the new division. “Bringing these three renowned businesses and their teams more closely together will provide unprecedented solution capabilities to our recycling and waste industry customers. It will allow us to deliver new units and parts support on shorter cycle times, provide optimized field service coverage, and generate broader advancement op- portunities for our team members,” said VanDeusen. “In a world of constant change, these companies are all built on a heritage of performance, reliability and support. Working together we will be able to offer greater innovation and value for our customers.” The combined product offering of the Recycling & Waste Equipment Division includes single-ram, horizontal, two-ram, ferrous and specialty balers, scrap metal and au- tomobile shear/baler/loggers, heavy-duty shredders and high-volume waste and scrap compactors. Avis Industrial is a privately held industrial holding com- pany. Through its 11 wholly owned subsidiaries, it is a glob- al supplier of quality products and creative solutions.
