LINDNER-RECYCLINGTECH
GOES AROUND THE WORLD.
This title has not been chosen randomly. Over the past two years, not only the sales network has been
strongly extended, but also a lot of new customers have been won who now rely on intelligent and
tailor-made solutions from the shredding pioneers in Carinthia / Austria.

CEO DI Manuel Lindner, Franz Strasser,
Hans Sagerschnig, Ing. Gerd Tischner
The machine factory that was founded in 1948 has become a dynamic international company. The
core business of the enterprise is shredding technology. From planning to development, construction
and production - from Sales and Distribution to a comprehensive After-Sales-Service … everything is
from one source. Lindner-Recyclingtech has particularly demonstrated that it is also a leading specialist
for shredding- and processing systems for the production of refuse derived fuels (RDF) from domestic,
industrial and commercial waste. Acting strategically wise and taking the right measures for sound
growth at the right time is the overarching credo for our independent family-owned and -managed
business. For our customers, this has several advantages like flexibility, drive, maximum efficiency and top
achievements at top quality. It is imperative, after all, that we meet requirements like high throughput
rates, maximum availability, optimal output, durability, safety, ease of maintenance and above all the
lowest possible production cost. Responsible for that is the newly formed management team around
CEO DI Manuel Lindner. Franz Strasser (Head of Production & Technology), Hans Sagerschnig (Head of
Commercial Finance) and Gerd Tischner (Head of Sales and Marketing) were appointed Authorized
Signatories in their respective functions.
Record turnover creates growth.
In spite of the economic crisis and the generally difficult basic conditions in our industry, 2011 turned out
to be the best trading year since the inception of the company. 39.2 million Euros have been generated
by the Lindner team with more than 200 employees. Part of this was reinvested directly into future-oriented projects in the areas of manufacturing, further training and education as well as research and development. At the same time, implementation of the ISO quality management system was completed.
To not only look back happily, but also start creating tomorrow today – that is the LindnerART. For the
next two years, a 5.1 million Euro investment program has already been started. There are markets to be
conquered and new customers and partners to be won.

LMS-Headquarters (Thuringia/Germany)
At the end of 2011, the Lindner Group has gained another member. Lindner Mobile Shredder
is based in Eisenach (Thuringia / Germany) and
specializes in mobile double shaft shredders that
are constructed, produced and marketed on location.
Head of Sales Gerhard Buhl and the Head of
Technology Stefan Seiler bring their long-standing
experience and entire industry know-how to the
new enterprise and want to establish the proven
Lindner quality in mobile double shaft shredding
technology, as well. Brand-new and up-to date,
the “mobile power pack” URRACO 75 is premiered
at the IFAT 2012.
Thus Lindner complies with a request often expressed by customers. With mobile shredders, there is now a flexible shredding solution to reduce
the volumes of scrap wood, domestic, commer-
cial and bulky waste and for processing of rootstock, wood logs and biomass material. The mobile shredders will be available with diesel as well as
electrical power systems.

POWER
A perfect
network.
Effective teamwork between staff, distributors and
the company network – at Lindner this is integrated company philosophy. The members of the
Lindner Group are flexible, self-sufficient companies and virtually unbeatable in the Lindner network. A congenial partnership with different focal
points is cultivated as we offer our comprehensive
portfolio of products and services around shredding technology and processing of refuse derived
fuels (RFD).

Lindner goes West.
In autumn 2010, Andreas Schwarz set forth to do
pioneering work for Lindner-Recyclingtech in the
land of opportunity. Since then, the Lindner America LLC trading company has caused quite a stir
west of the Atlantic.

One of the biggest waste management companies on the North American continent has been
sold on the Lindner technology and has so far acquired two secondary shredders. A Power Komet
and a Vega have also found their way across the
pond. Beyond that, a universal shredder has been
installed at Waste Recovery Solutions in Pennsylvania and a further one is on its way to Indiana.
The Canadian plastics recycling company EFS
has ordered a Lindner machine for Toronto. Together with LINDNER reSource, Lindner shredders
have also been positioned successfully in the field
of plastics compounding; our mutual presence at
the exhibition in Orlando in April 2012 already bears fruit. In order to serve that market even more
intensely and offer even more service, a showroom is being planned.
PLAY
The „Plastic-Pros“
carry on where
others leave off.
Harald Hoffmann and his team in Großbottwar are THE people to contact
for planning and implementation of shredding plants for effective resource processing, especially in the field of plastics and recycling. By specializing in this area, they can react to market trends even faster and
develop customer-oriented solutions competently.
The latest coup of LINDNER reSource is two newly installed Vega L 1100 at
Lohner Kunststoffrecycling . At an unchanged throughput rate, the power
input could be reduced by 50 percent with the Lindner shredders. Since
the beginning of operations, the cost for pre-shredding of production waste
has also been reduced significantly.
Due to these positive experiences with Lindner technology and in
order to increase their capacities, an additional Micromat 2000
has been commissioned at LKR.
„With our current modernization and expansion of machinery
equipment, we bank on the well-known reliability and long
life-span of the Lindner systems. With them, we have the crucial
prerequisites for the uninterrupted supply of our customers
with granulates and mill material in Germany,
Europe and overseas”, says director of Lohner
Kunststoffrecycling, Jan-Hendrik Wilming.

What’s good about a complex plant without adequate controls? Nothing – that’s why the corporate connection between Lindner-Recyclingtech
and Lindner E-Tech is a perfect symbiosis for customers. From the creation of programs via graphic
display of the entire plant, right up to the link-up
with a central control- or computer system – the

their customers and due to remote service is in a
position to offer continuous support directly at the
machine. Due to reliability and professionalism,
their turnover could be increased by 39 percent
from 2010 to 2011. Like in all Lindner companies,
the focus with Lindner E-Tech is on their customers:
in 2012, the support and consulting services will be
extended further and investments in Research &
Development will be made.
The intelligent control technology of Lindner ETech is flexible due to their modular bus-system and extendable, if required. Even when the plants
are in use, Lindner E-Tech remains in touch with

Humans
“Lindnerians” are a strong community
„The value of a company is not composed of buildings and banknotes. Valuable in a company are only
those human beings who work for it, and the spirit in which they do it.” (Heinrich Nordhoff)
Lindner-Recyclingtech is a strong and reliable
partner for its staff, its customers, suppliers, distributors and for the public. Fairness, loyalty and open
and honest communication are the basis for our
mutual success. Our numerous long-standing business relations are proof that this appreciative conduct with each other is also an integral part of our
daily business.
Teamplayers with passion and innovative
spirit are always welcome.
„Lindnerians“ are a strong community with declared objectives. New challenges and the desire to
actively participate in the success of the company drive them to peak performances every day.
Lindner offers interesting fields of activity to people from very diverse backgrounds. It is often precisely the persons coming to Lindner from other
professions who then develop their full potential
and advance to key positions. Professional and
personal development plays a big role at Lindner.
For people with passion and initiative, there are
06
State of the Lindner A R T / EDITION 03 / 2012
always interesting possibilities for further qualification and advancement.
Career with apprenticeship.
To start an apprenticeship with Lindner-Recyclingtech means to become part of a stable international company. Over the past ten years, more
than 90 young men and women have successfully
completed their apprenticeships and became
metal technicians or electrical engineers with a
different main focus. Apprentices can expect an
exciting work environment in a future-oriented industry. The “Apprenticeship with Matura” is also an
opportunity that is often used at Lindner.
Apprentice at Lindner E-Tech – at 47 years of age.
That’s what we call true passion. Interest and the
willingness to perform were the strong motives for
Herbert Leitner to start over. The result: an excellent degree and an exciting position at Lindner ETech as an electrical engineering technician - a
great success story. Congratulations.
Lindner shines in
South-East Asia.
Jürgen Militz looks back on 25 years of professional
experience in support of business markets and the
development of business services in the region. In
South-East Asia, he can not only access a comprehensive network, but is also represented in Singapore with his company Recycling Partners Pte. Ltd.
since 2011.

Open door for new distributors.
Lindner continues to grow. To facilitate that, we
need reliable and committed partners who represent the Lindner brand name well and want to
spread the spirit of “The ART of innovative Shredding” further. Wende Recyclingtech s.c. in Poland
and MachTech Services Ltd in the United Kingdom
are showcase companies for very successful Lindner cooperation. Further enterprises who want to
follow these examples and become part of the
Lindner network are always welcome at LindnerRecyclingtech.

Lindner Marketing comes in a fourpack.
Lindner does not only want to convince with
the quality of their products, but also leave their
“fingerprints”. That means: Lindner is Lindner and
does not equal any other company. Innovative
products, great ideas, new markets, demands,
partners, customers, remarkable successes … all
that forms part of the playing field for the fourstrong marketing team headed by Petra Feichter.
The four approach their multifaceted tasks with
creativity and professionalism. They bet on consequent customer-orientation and actively work
hand in hand with the other departments on the
lasting success of the company.
Militz and Lindner found each other and decided
to team up in South-East Asia. REMONDIS (one of
the biggest companies in water- and recycling
management worldwide) and companies of the
LM|||Group (Ludden & Mennekes Entsorgungssysteme, SUTCO Recyclingtechnik, unoTech) are
also on board at Recycling Partners. Meanwhile,
Militz has also been able to acquire Jeffrey Loo
– an experienced technician who has previously worked for prestigious German companies - as
Business Development Manager for Lindner and
SUTCO. Militz and Loo are actively supported by
Michael Hofer at the Lindner headquarters, an expert in international project management.

UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.
OUR VISION IS INNOVATION.
Lindner Recyclingtech and
RDF – inseparably connected.
To create high quality secondary resources from
waste for the industry – that was and is the ambition of Lindner-Recyclingtech. The processing
of climate friendly, refuse derived fuels (RDF) from
waste is one of the core competences of LindnerRecyclingtech.
More and more businesses like cement plants,
energy providers and the steel industry for example focus on environment-friendly alternatives
to brown coal and anthracite or crude oil and
also, therefore, on reduced CO2 emissions. Refuse
derived fuels (RDF) are extracted from commercial, communal and private waste. Because of
the diverse composition of these types of waste,
there are individual and often extremely demanding requirements for the processing technology.
Thanks to innovative concepts, the Lindner
intelligent modular design and especially
the high degree of efficiency and reliability, Lindner shredders and the Lindner
RDF compact plants consistently set new
standards in the industry. Taking only the
Lindner KOMET and POWER KOMET
secondary shredders presently in
operation, an impressive total of
about eleven million tons of output
granulate per annum (2-shift operation, output granulate < 30 mm) is
produced at the moment. We want
this figure to grow - worldwide, just
like Lindner. We want more customers like Chris Mountain (Mid UK Recycling Ltd) to say: “I can’t understand
why every waste company isn’t operating
one of these.”
Lindner RDF compact plants are being used
successfully all over the world.
Lindner Shredding T echnology.
The best
from waste.
“Shredding, separating and conveying waste,
that’s what the machines and plant components
we build do”, says Ing. Gerd Tischner, Head of Sales and Marketing. But not only alternative fuels
are extracted from waste. Resource processing
and volume reduction are also big fields of application. Many different materials have to be
shredded before they can be processed further
or disposed of.
Commercial, domestic and bulky waste is only
a part of them – plastics of all kind, Tetrapak, rejects, paper, cellulose insulating material, textiles,
carpets, rubber, tires, electronic scrap, cables or
straw are also reduced to the right size by Lindner single shaft shredders. Every material makes
different demands on a shredding machine, just
like customers pursue different objectives with the
reduction of their material.
Customers rightly expect competence and quality from Lindner. On the basis of our proven and reliable technologies, we constantly develop further,
break new ground and find the right concepts for
very different tasks. The Lindner modular construction system and the accomplishments at the
Lindner Technical Center enable us to find tailor-

made shredding solutions. However demanding
or unusual the material to be shredded may be
– at Lindner we always help out any way we can
and test the feasibilities for the desired reduction,
if required.
The Lindner staff will gladly support you with their
long-standing experience when you have to
choose the best technical and economical processing technology – even beyond shredding
technology. Your requirements are our individual
assignment.

design. no ‘Off-the-Shelf’ shredder.
There are different kinds of waste. Every material is different, that’s why every customer has specific requirements for his new shredder. In order to do
justice to this variety, Lindner relies on a well thought-out modular construction system. Up to 80 percent of the components used by Lindner are applied
in all our machine types.
This has several advantages: machines can
be adjusted to individual requirements with utmost flexibility; throughput times are reduced,
and therefore delivery times are shorter as well;
training time and effort required is lower when
several Lindner shredders are operated, at the
same time safety for operating staff increases
because risks with maintenance work are minimized. In addition to that, there are potential savings at warehousing-costs for spare parts
when several Lindner shredders are operated.
With the intelligent modular design, there is no
desired specification we cannot deliver. The MICROMAT universal shredder for example can
be configured in approximately 120 different
variations. Highly satisfied customers worldwide
reduce materials of all kind with Lindner technology and contented, successful customers are
the ultimate ambition of Lindner-Recyclingtech.

Lindner - Service.
Efficiency from One Source.
The “After Sales Service” and “Spare Parts” departments were combined in early 2012 under the leadership of Markus Schmidl. Thus, we want to increase efficiency and ensure quick delivery times.
Installation Poland
Schmidl can build on a strong foundation for his
task: permanent and immediate availability of
Lindner spare parts, the comprehensive database of the Lindner Technical Center with data
analyses for different combinations of machines
and materials, the intelligent controls from Lindner
E-Tech that facilitate direct support with remote
maintenance.
A 15-strong service team is available for worldwide deployment. In many countries, additional
extensive services are offered by our distributors.
All service technicians in the field for Lindner are
regularly trained for the latest technologies. Says
Manuel Lindner, CEO: “We not only build robust
and reliable shredders, we also want to look after
our customers for the entire life cycle of the machines and plant components in the best possible
way.”

Quality down to the very last detail.
Original spare parts pay
for themselves.
A Lindner shredder is made
of approximately 700 single
parts. Your original Lindner
machine is assembled with
them: it is robust, reliable
and durable. Many invisible
quality features of these single parts see to it, that your
machine keeps what it promises. For the shredder to fulfill its
main duty – reduce many different kinds
of materials – the quality of the single components
is crucial; the knives are particularly important.
We often see that in order to decrease running
costs, expenses are reduced for the most needed
parts – the knives and other wear parts. Instead
of high quality knives, cheap imports from the Far
East are used. But the supposed advantage often
turns out to be a ‘machine-killer’ and an enormous cost trap.
Unfavourable steel compounds and insufficiently
supervised hardening processes can have dire
consequences because the knives either break
very quickly or disengage from the knife holder
altogether. Parts moving around in the machine
then not only damage the cutting system, but at
worst the results are expensive damages and machine downtime. We at Lindner therefore also focus on quality for knives as well as spare and wear
parts. High quality spare and wear parts contribute to long life spans and high throughput rates of
Lindner shredders and ultimately reduce the
cost for maintenance and material.
Only high quality parts ensure that the original features
and efficiency of machines
and plant components are
maintained in the long run.
The high Lindner quality and
safety standards as well as
state-of-the-art
technology
are only guaranteed with original parts.
Lindner D istributors.
Achieving
Goals Together.
Lindner-Recyclingtech is always careful to choose the best partners in order to establish a longstanding and trustful cooperation. Our distributors are ambassadors of the Lindner brand. Together with
them, we achieve excellent results in many markets.
Piotr Pantoł, Poland
André Gomes, Portugal
Arkin Korur, Turkey
Piotr Pantoł (Wende Recyclingtech s.c.) has represented the Lindner brand in Poland for 15 years
with great commitment and a lot of enthusiasm.
Pantoł has trusted in the quality and efficiency of
Lindner products from the very beginning, and
Lindner trusts Pantoł. The results are respectable:
more than 120 shredders and 13 RDF compact
plants have been installed successfully. We are
sure that none of our competitors in Poland have
as many happy customers as the Wende-Lindner
team.
neer in the British waste industry - is one of the
most convinced MachTech/Lindner customers in
England. Twelve Lindner shredders have already
been commissioned there. MachTech and Lindner have every intention to welcome many more
customers with open arms.
At this point, we are also asking the ‘youngest’
Lindner partners to step in front of the curtain:
In Portugal a couple of projects have already
materialized with G.Höfle Lda. André Gomes, the
‘Lindnerian’ at G.Höfle Lda, puts a lot of energy
and passion in ‘his’ Lindner machines and has
many plans. He gets all the support he needs from
Lindner – together we will achieve more!
Joe Hoyle (MachTech Services Ltd.) is also one
of our most successful partners. Like the entire
“Lindner Family”, MachTech not only simply sells
shredders; they also represent the Lindner quality standards and the Lindner ideas of service
and innovation. Mid UK Recycling Ltd. - a pio-
Kari Strandvall (Luminer Oy) is responsible for customer liaison and support on the Finnish market.
Processing of waste and refuse derived fuels (RDF)
are important in Finland, too and Strandvall approaches the challenges of his customers with dedication and a lot of enthusiasm. In 2011 the first RDF
compact plant was implemented in Finland, others
will follow. The Lindner-Luminer cooperation is more
than just doing business in parallel – working in concert, we offer professional competence and the
best service and support for our Finnish customers.
The strong economic growth over the last few years, especially in the cement industry, called for
more intense customer service in Turkey. The Lindner presence in Turkey was therefore strengthened with a new partner: KOAS Ltd. Arkin Korur is already successful in the market and he, too wants
to convince many more customers with Lindner
technology.
