Cresswood’s Success at PACK EXPO International 2024
PACK EXPO International 2024 in Chicago was an enormous event, drawing a record number of 2,700 exhibitors and nearly 50,000 attendees from over 40 markets. For Cresswood, a world-class industrial recycling shredders company, this was an invaluable opportunity to directly connect with organizations looking to expand their recycling footprint.

We met many of our target customers and reinforced our role as a key player in the material recycling sector. Cresswood is expanding into diverse industries, committed to delivering long-lasting machinery that addresses the evolving needs of recycling operations.

Delivering Complete Recycling Solutions: Cresswood’s Strategic Approach
At Cresswood, we’ve always believed that it’s not enough to simply sell world-class industrial grinders and shredders. Over the past decade, we’ve focused on providing our clients with complete solutions to their material recycling needs. This includes forging strategic partnerships with other equipment manufacturers and experts in systems integration. PACK EXPO offered Cresswood exceptional exposure to the industries we serve, including wood and plastic pallets, paper packaging, and both rigid and film plastics.
In paper recycling, our shredders are often the primary tool used in the conditioning of the material. After our machines process the material, customers typically need to bale the shredded product for densification and efficient transportation. To ensure smooth operations, the material is then moved from the shredder to the baler through either pneumatic air systems or mechanical conveyors.
In the plastics recycling industry, Cresswood’s equipment plays a crucial role in secondary size-reduction processes, such as granulation, which turns rough scrap material into uniform, controlled feedstock for manufacturing other plastic products. Our American-made industrial shredders and grinders are designed to handle these applications with precision and efficiency.
Seamless System Integration: Combining Shredding, Conveying, and Air Systems
At Cresswood, we manufacture our own world-class vibratory and belt conveyors. Additionally, we partner with leading air systems providers to offer complete solutions for a variety of material applications, from pallet recycling to paper and plastics processing. This approach allows us to integrate our shredding equipment seamlessly with other machinery, creating a harmonized, efficient system for our clients.
Collaborating for Complete Solutions: Nate Harris Joins Cresswood at PACK EXPO
For PACK EXPO, we also invited Nate Harris of Custom Pelleting Service to join us at our booth. With his extensive experience in the secondary processing of wood and plastics, Nate brought valuable expertise to our conversations with potential clients. His presence allowed us to engage in deeper, more meaningful discussions about complete recycling solutions, further solidifying Cresswood’s position as a trusted partner in the industry.
