WEIMA America Inc. marked a significant milestone, celebrating its 25th anniversary in the North American market with a two-day event at its headquarters in Fort Mill, S.C. The occasion was attended by team members, partners, and esteemed guests, including Peter Rössler, founder of WEIMA, and Managing Partner, Martin Friz.

Founded in 1999 in Fort Mill, WEIMA America 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, according to the company.

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.

The event commenced with a day of live demonstrations at the North American headquarters, attracting vendors, dealers, OEMs, business partners, and prospective clients. Ten live demonstrations showcased WEIMA’s versatile machinery, including applications such as aluminum can compression, wood dust briquetting, and bathtub shredding.

"We are so proud of the accomplishments we have achieved in the first 25 years of our existence in North America. With the solid team we have in place, the future is unlimited and exciting,” said Madison Burt, CEO of WEIMA America.
