Macpresse Europa S.R.L

Since the early 19th century, the Scotuzzi family has a long history in the metal manufacturing industry. Acquiring experience and know-how along the way, the Scotuzzi brothers Amos, Angelo Giuseppe and Giacomo established the first MAC (Meccanizzazione Agricola Cartaria) facility in the 1960s in Milano.

• In 1963 MAC manufactured the first continuous bale press, and soon after an innovative waste paper crusher.
• In 1971 a second factory was built; the first automatic baling press went into production and was launched at the Fiera Campionaria in Milan.
• In 1974 the factory was enlarged to a covered area of now 3,000 m2.

Continuously developing, specializing and expanding its range of technologies, i.e. waste disposal, in 1986 Macpresse ( as it was now called) set up the currently used manufacturing facility, expanding it to a total area of 170.000 m2, of which 20.000 m2 are now covered.

Macpresse is actually managed and owned by the 5th generation of the Scotuzzi family.

Mission
Macpresse designs and builds custom-made systems for the recycling and waste industries, adopting the most advanced technical solutions. Our decades of experience gained in this industry ensure total support from production to after-the-sales service.

Vision
Because of the need for differentiation and compacting bigger volumes of secondary raw material, in the last ten years the whole recycling industry has undergone a radical transformation characterized by the use of the most innovative technologies in both systems and machinery.

Objectives
Thanks to the experience acquired in over 40 years, Macpresse offers systems that meet the customers' specific requirements and an exclusive after-sales service characterized by the guaranteed availability of spare parts and by an international network of professional engineers.

Macpresse is the world leader in MSW baling; and our worldwide references speak for themselves. The Macpresse dedicated range of ‘L’ series MSW balers are specifically designed, engineered and manufactured to process MSW in even the most challenging conditions, .i.e leachate, organics, vermin, high, corrosion, wear & tear. Baling capacities range up to 70 tons/hour, or 1000 t/day per baler. All balers have liners of bolted Hardox steel plates, with high compaction and low maintenance costs. 

MSW bales are wrapped with LLDPE foil; this eliminates leachate, methane gas, bad odours etc. Wrapped MSW bales can now be transported without soiling loading floors, there is no spilling of leachate onto the public roads. The bale sizes enable trucks to be loaded easily and space efficiently. 

With its smaller plant layout, Baling & Wrapping of MSW optimises the available floor space and enables a more time-efficient movement of vehicles, i.e. trucks, fork lifts, front loaders etc. 

Landfill remediation technology consists of trommel screens, sorting, and baling. Under-trommel material can be further processed as raw compost, or as filling material. Rest waste is baled and landfilled. 

For the RDF industry, Macpresse offers both front end and post production technology. Our MRFs are positioned prior to drying; post end our balers compact RDF into high density bales, logistically easy to handle & transport in containers or by rai

Mac receives UL certification for the manufacture of electrical enclosures in accordance with standards laid down by American directives.
