Stokkermill is proud to announce the start of a new strategic partnership with Fragmaq, Brazil's national leader in the design and manufacture of industrial shredders and waste valorization systems. This collaboration represents a major milestone for Stokkermill's growth strategy in South America, and a natural evolution for two companies that share a common vision: delivering high-performance, reliable, and innovative machinery to the recycling industry.Fragmaq, headquartered in Diadema, São Paulo, has built its reputation over the years as the reference brand for industrial shredding and material separation equipment in Brazil, serving sectors ranging from plastics and metals to electronic waste, biomass, and municipal solid waste. Its comprehensive portfolio of two-shaft, four-shaft, and single-shaft shredders, combined with ballistic and optical separators and fully integrated waste valorization units, mirrors the breadth and technical ambition that has always distinguished Stokkermill's offering in Europe and worldwide.
Brazil is one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving markets for industrial recycling equipment in Latin America. The country's growing regulatory pressure on waste management, combined with an expanding industrial base and increasing demand for circular economy solutions, makes it one of the highest-potential territories for companies like Stokkermill that specialise in advanced metal and material recovery technology. Through this partnership, Stokkermill's full product range, including industrial shredders, hammer mills, eddy-current and densimetric separators, cable granulators, WEEE recycling plants, PCB recycling lines, and solar panel recovery systems, will be made available to clients across central and southern Brazil through Fragmaq's established commercial and technical network. This territorial focus allows both companies to maximise their impact where industrial concentration and recycling demand are highest, offering local customers shorter lead times, direct technical support, and an unparalleled depth of solutions.
Partnerships in the industrial machinery sector are only as strong as the technical and cultural alignment between the parties involved. In Stokkermill and Fragmaq, there is a rare convergence of values: both companies are manufacturers first and foremost, designing and building their own equipment in-house, investing continuously in R&D, and prioritising engineering quality and after-sales service above all else. Stokkermill, founded in Udine (Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy), has spent more than 30 years developing and refining machinery that handles the world's most demanding recycling challenges, from copper wire granulation to lithium battery processing. With over 1,000 machines and plants installed in more than 30 countries, the company brings a level of global field experience that few manufacturers can match. Fragmaq brings the equivalent on its home turf: a deep knowledge of Brazil's industrial environment, its regulations, its logistical realities, and the specific requirements of local recycling operators. This complementarity is the foundation on which a truly effective and long-lasting partnership can be built.
For Brazilian companies operating in the recycling, waste management, metals recovery, and circular economy sectors, this partnership translates into a concrete and immediate benefit: access to Stokkermill's full technological ecosystem through a partner with roots in Brazil. Whether the need is a standalone shredder for an urban solid waste (USW) application, a complete cable recycling line for copper and aluminium recovery, or a turnkey WEEE treatment plant, clients in central and southern Brazil will now be able to source, configure, and install these solutions with the support of a local team that speaks the same language, technically and literally.Fragmaq's own expertise in designing multi-stage waste valorization units, transport systems, separators, and dust control equipment means that the two companies' offerings are in many cases complementary rather than overlapping, enabling the configuration of complete, integrated recycling systems that draw on the best of both product ranges. This is precisely the kind of end-to-end industrial recycling solution that the Brazilian market is increasingly demanding.
The announcement of this partnership is not simply a commercial agreement, it is the beginning of a structured, long-term relationship between Stokkermill and Fragmaq, one that both companies expect to deepen significantly over the coming years. Joint projects are already under discussion, and the ambition is to develop collaborative initiatives that go beyond distribution, touching on application engineering, product customisation for the Brazilian context, and joint participation at the region's leading industrial and environmental fairs.For Stokkermill, the Brazilian market has always represented a strategic opportunity, and this partnership, with a company of Fragmaq's stature and reach, provides the ideal foundation from which to consolidate and expand that presence. For Fragmaq, the access to Stokkermill's European technology, innovation pipeline, and 30-year track record in sectors such as WEEE, PCB, solar panel recycling, and lithium battery treatment opens up entirely new market segments domestically. Both companies are confident that this collaboration will not only strengthen their individual positions in Brazil, but contribute meaningfully to the development of a more efficient, sustainable, and technologically advanced recycling industry throughout the country.
