Our history<\/h2><\/div>40 years of innovation<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
SatrindTech was founded in 1982 in Arluno, just outside Milan, at a time when the industrial shredding market was still in its infancy. Over more than forty years, we have built our reputation one project at a time, tackling increasingly complex applications and developing solutions that others were unable to offer. Growth driven not by quantity, but by technical depth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>1982<\/h3><\/div>Satrind is founded, focused on the production of industrial shredders in a then-emerging market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>Satrind is born: the first twin-shaft shredders<\/span><\/h3><\/div>Satrind was born from the founders’ direct experience in the design and production of industrial shredders, in a market\u2014especially in Italy\u2014that was then in its infancy. The choice was clear from the beginning: specialize in a niche technical sector, build robust and reliable machines, grow with the market without ever abandoning the company’s core business. A vocation that has remained unchanged for over forty years. <\/p>\n
The first twin-shaft shredders with electric motors\u201410 and 15 HP series\u2014were developed and produced entirely in-house at the Cornaredo (Milan) facility. The control system was based on electromechanical control panels, with some process parameters managed by an electronic board: a technical solution that, in its analog version, is still present in our control panels today.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>The context: waste becomes a flow to be managed<\/h3><\/div>In the 1980s, the waste sector began to take shape through the first European and national regulatory frameworks, which focused on health protection, environmental protection, and control of treatment activities. Waste gradually began to be considered not only as scrap to be eliminated, but as a flow to be managed according to defined technical and regulatory criteria. For the recycling sector, this was a foundational shift that paved the way for demand for technologies for volume reduction, pre-treatment, and controlled material management. Satrind was already there.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>1990s<\/h3><\/div>The company grows and specializes, expanding its range with the first 2- and 4-shaft models and consolidating its presence in the recycling sector.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>Growth, specialization, and first quality certification<\/h3><\/div>The company grows and specializes, expanding its range with the first 2- and 3-shaft models and consolidating its presence in the recycling sector. The first shredders with 50 HP hydraulic motors are produced. Control panels remain electromechanical, with a dedicated electronic board for managing reversals. <\/p>\n
The organizational structure expands: new technicians and operators join, and the founders’ roles evolve from operational to managerial. By the end of the decade, the need for structured reorganization emerges, leading to the introduction of UNI EN ISO 9002:1994 certification\u2014a process that took two years. Since then, quality certification, in all its evolutions, has never left the organization. <\/p>\n
In 1996, the first Machinery Directive 89\/392\/EEC came into force, establishing essential health and safety requirements for the design and construction of machinery in the European Union. Shredders also had to comply: for Satrind, this was a further incentive to invest in technical expertise and structured design processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>Growth, specialization, and first quality certification<\/h3><\/div>In the 1990s, the European and Italian regulatory framework evolved significantly, accompanying the shift from a logic primarily oriented toward disposal to a more modern vision based on integrated management and waste recovery.<\/p>\n
Growing attention to hazardous waste, packaging, and flow traceability redefined the recycling market, which required more reliable plants, more controlled processes, and solutions capable of treating different materials efficiently and in compliance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>New headquarters, global market, and first complete lines<\/h3><\/div>Satrind moved to its new headquarters in Arluno (Milan), driven by production and organizational needs: more space, more employees. The market was no longer just Italian and European: it was now global. The range expanded with shredders of increasing sizes and power\u2014up to 400 HP\u2014and with increasingly complex solutions. <\/p>\n
It was in this decade that a fundamental awareness matured: the shredder alone was no longer sufficient to solve the customer’s problem. The first complete shredding lines were born, starting with tire lines and, at the end of the decade, lines for shredding hazardous waste in inert atmospheres. Control panels became digital with the introduction of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). <\/p>\n
On the regulatory front, the Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/EC came into force, imposing high health and safety standards and requiring CE marking, ensuring the free movement of products in the EU. Meanwhile, the introduction of the euro strengthened the single European market\u2014central to the company\u2014but the subprime mortgage crisis at the end of the decade severely impacted the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>
