The name Oberländer has been a symbol of robust and reliable scrap processing installations from Germany for over 50 years
Press shears, baling presses and shredders designed by Werner Oberländer have been used in Western Europe, the USA and in Eastern Europe and countries of the former Soviet Union for more than 50 years. Most of them are still in successful operation today and testify to the excellent manufacturing quality and performance of the design at the time.
With the development of the column guided shear slider for scrap shears at the end of the 1960s, Mr. Oberländer, then head of design at “Maschinenfabrik Becker”, set a milestone in the further development of scrap shears. This column guide is still known today as one of the most reliable and long-lasting types of guide for the shear slider at scrap shears.
The name Oberländer is also a renowned manufacturer in the Arab region, as some used scrap shears and baling presses from Western Europe, which date back to the 70s and 80s, are still in successful use today.
These decades of experience and the increased demands on performance, reliability and productivity have ensured that new third-generation Oberländer scrap processing installations are now also being installed in the Arabian region. The latest 1.100 t scrap shear was installed this year in the Jeddah region, another shear is already manufactured and will be commissioned next year.
With an extensive spare parts warehouse and service vehicles, service and maintenance can be offered worldwide from the Dortmund-Schwerte/Germany location. The spare parts warehouse not only includes parts for the latest generation of machines, but also for old machines that were still sold under the name of ORT or Maschinenfabrik Becker.
