ARJES and EuRec Inspire International Trade Audience

IFAT Munich 2026 once again impressively demonstrated the central role that environmental and recycling technologies play worldwide. Around 3,400 exhibitors from over 60 countries and approximately 142,000 trade visitors from around 160 countries made the world’s leading trade fair in Munich the international meeting point for the recycling and environmental industry once again. Across approximately 300,000 m² of exhibition space, the focus was on future topics such as circular economy, resource efficiency, alternative drive technologies, and sustainable processing solutions.

We at ARJES and EuRec also look back on an extremely successful trade show week. Together, we presented our two brands with a significantly expanded trade show presence at the outdoor exhibition area as well as live in material processing – represented by our partner Moerschen Mobile Aufbereitung – in the VDMA Crushing Zone. The focus was not only on our established two-shaft shredders, but also on technological innovations in the field of mobile screening technologies.

Global Dealer Network Represented at IFAT

Particularly gratifying for ARJES and EuRec was the strong international presence at our own trade show stand. In total, more than 25 long-standing and new distribution partners from around the world were represented on-site. For the first time, our new US distribution partners US-Equipment and RPM as well as SRS-Equipment from Canada presented themselves at IFAT Munich 2026.

Furthermore, existing and successful partnerships were further strengthened. The long-standing collaborations with SCAI from Italy and Østli from Denmark were officially extended. Overall, the trade show impressively demonstrated how much ARJES’ international dealer network has grown.

Numerous Machines Sold Directly at the Trade Show

IFAT Munich was also extremely successful for ARJES and EuRec in terms of sales. Several machines exhibited at the trade show stand were sold during the event and handed over directly to their new owners.

ARJES COMPAKTOR 300 to BAG Klöch in Austria
ARJES EKOMAXX 800 to Kölsch Baumaschinen in Germany
ARJES TITAN 900 to Doyle Machinery in the United Kingdom
another ARJES TITAN 900 to Hagl Recycling in Germany
EuRec FERRO 950 demo machine to HJM in Spain

Particularly high interest was also recorded for the new mobile screening plants NEOS 6.3 and NOVA 518, with which ARJES is expanding its portfolio for the first time specifically in the field of screening technologies. Many trade visitors took the opportunity to learn about the advantages of our processing and process chain solutions directly on-site. At the same time, the electrically powered machine solutions EuRec ULTIMA 850 Lightning and FERRO 950 Lightning also generated intensive technical discussions and great interest.

"Breathtaking and Overwhelming"

Our managing partner Thomas Hayn draws a thoroughly positive conclusion from IFAT Munich 2026:

“In short: breathtaking and overwhelming. With now more than 40 sales and service partners worldwide, we were able to show at IFAT Munich how important the topic of recycling has become not only in Europe, but worldwide, and how we have grown together with our partners. At the same time, we were able to present new ARJES and EuRec technologies at IFAT and thus conduct many forward-looking discussions for the future.”

For ARJES and EuRec, IFAT Munich 2026 was not only a successful trade show, but above all a strong signal for the growing international importance of modern recycling and environmental technologies. With strong partnerships, numerous new contacts, successful sales, and innovative product solutions, we look optimistically to the coming years – in line with our motto: “Recycling Starts With ARJES”.
