Oregon based Bulk Handling Systems (BHS) has acquired National Recovery Technologies (NRT), a company that designs and manufactures optical sorting equipment for the solid waste and recycling industries, among others.
“We’re pleased to add NRT to the BHS family,” said BHS CEO Steve Miller in a press release. “NRT was founded by some of the brightest scientific minds in the industry and its values have been based on technology innovation, quality of manufacturing and a strong commitment to customer support, values that BHS has as well. Today NRT produces the best optical technology on the market, which strengthens BHS’ position as a global leader in providing the most state-of-the-art and durable material recovery systems in the industry.”
NRT owns or is the exclusive licensee of 29 U.S. patents and five foreign patents covering NIR, X-Ray, Laser, and Line Camera sorting systems. They also claim the world’s largest installed capacity in PET plastic reclamation plants.
