The complete mechanical recycling chain
Founded in 1884 in Meckesheim, Germany, Herbold Meckesheim is a specialist in plastic recycling machinery covering the full mechanical process — from pre-crushing and granulating through washing, separating, drying and agglomeration. Since 2022, Herbold has been part of Coperion's Recycling Business Unit, combining decades of German engineering with global reach. With nearly 240 employees and more than €50 million in annual revenue, Herbold builds everything from single machines to complete turnkey recycling lines, including full PET bottle-to-bottle plants producing food-grade recycled PET. Their EWS, DWS and HGM machines sit at the coarse end of that chain — see all shredder machines we supply for how they compare with the other options.
