WEIMA America, Inc. has marked a significant milestone, celebrating its 25th anniversary in the North American market with a two-day event at its Fort Mill, SC headquarters.
The occasion was attended by team members, partners, and esteemed guests, including Peter Rössler, founder of WEIMA, and Managing Partner, Martin Friz, who traveled from Germany to join the festivities. The Carolina fall provided a welcoming atmosphere, adding to the celebratory spirit.
Founded in 1999 in Fort Mill, South Carolina, WEIMA America, Inc. was the vision of Peter Rössler, who saw immense potential in the North American market. Rössler, having established WEIMA Maschinenbau, GmbH in Germany nearly two decades earlier, recognized Fort Mill’s strategic location near East Coast ports and major interstates as ideal for importing and distributing large machinery.
Since then, WEIMA has grown to serve a broad range of industries, providing shredders for plastics, paper, waste-to-energy, metals, and more. With the addition of briquette and drainage presses, WEIMA has solidified its global leadership in size reduction technology.
Ahead of the celebration, an international sales meeting was held, fostering collaboration and discussing recent projects and global applications of WEIMA's machinery. While the celebration was primarily in honor of the growth the company has seen in North America, this gathering of team members from around the world highlighted WEIMA’s commitment to innovation and growth on a global scale.
