Germany-headed pelleting technology provider Salmatec GmbH and US-based Floyd Holdings, a privately held, premier supplier of material-handling equipment, have signed an agreement confirming that BE&E will be the exclusive partner, serving the biomass industry for Salmatec in North America.
According to a statement, BE&E will immediately begin offering new pellet machines from Salmatec’s Maxima brand, as well as dies and rollers for all brands of pellet mills, and start stocking parts at its facility in Greenville, Kentucky (KY).
Refurbishment services for dies and rollers will soon follow.
We move slow and carefully on such partnerships due to reputational risks, but it was immediately apparent to me when we began talking, that the ownership of Salmatec placed the same emphasis on value engineering, reliability, and customer support as we do. In addition to an incredible history of long-lasting pellet machines, Salmatec’s new investment in the most advanced die production facility solidified its commitment to the future and aligns with our recent large investments for the future. This partnership brings immediate, tangible value to our customers, said Dane Floyd, CEO of Floyd Holdings.
With over 50 years of manufacturing pelleting units to the animal feed, biomass pellets, and recycling industries, Salmatec designs, manufactures, and supplies product-specific pelleting units and the corresponding peripheral equipment: from individual presses to entire units.
We take great care in choosing our partners to ensure that our customers receive the highest level of service and support. From our first discussions with BE&E, it was clear that they not only have the sales resources but also the practical expertise in the biomass industry to bring our solutions to the North American market in the same way we serve our European customers. With over 50 years of experience and pellet mills producing more than 13 million tons of wood pellets annually, we understand what it takes to build reliable, long-lasting machines and wear parts such as dies and rollers. With BE&E as our exclusive partner, we are confident that North American biomass pellet producers will benefit from our shared focus on innovation, reliability, and long-term support, said Timo Müller, Business Development Director at Salmatec.
