About us

WEIMA is a leading manufacturer of machinery for shredding, briquetting, and dewatering waste and residual materials from plastics, wood, paper, metal, and biomass.

Recycling starts with WEIMA. Our shredders and presses help transform unused waste into valuable raw materials. As a trusted partner to industry and trade, we support the circular economy and provide innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. We are a medium-sized family-owned company based in the heart of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Our core expertise lies in the shredding and compaction of all types of waste materials. With WEIMA machinery, big becomes small again. Together with our customers, we lay the foundation for a world without unused waste.

What our customers say about us
01 / 07

We often have large, solid pieces of scrap wood, so we wanted to make sure the shredder could break them down easily—and it works really well.

We looked at many different potential suppliers for the shredder and ultimately decided on WEIMA. And we're very happy with it.

WEIMA was one of the few companies that took a close look at the local conditions and assessed the on-site technical requirements during the bidding phase. That was a decisive factor for us in selecting a partner.

Thanks to our seamless collaboration with the engineers at WEIMA and Wanner, the pressing of our records is virtually waste-free. We are now making the most of our material resources and can provide our artists with a truly sustainable product. This is in line with the spirit of the times and is also economically attractive for us.

Before deciding on a WEIMA shredder, we had heard some recommendations from people in our neighborhood. We got in touch with them and asked, “Is the WEIMA shredder really as good as everyone says?” The responses were overwhelmingly positive. That was a decisive factor for us in choosing to work with WEIMA.

With the W5.18 shredder from WEIMA, we are now ideally positioned to efficiently manage flower pot recycling. We are very proud that our equipment helps support the circular economy and that our work helps create new, recycled products.

From installation to after-sales service, we have great confidence in WEIMA and hope to continue working together for many years to come. From the very beginning, WEIMA has put us at ease and fostered a close, friendly relationship. Whether it’s problems, adjustments, or new ideas—there’s always a solution for everything. That’s why we chose WEIMA.
