During IMTS 2026 in Chicago, a U.S. auto and metal recycling company discovered ENERPAT's recycling machinery at Booth 338171. After discussing its current recycling operation and equipment requirements with the ENERPAT US team, the customer invited ENERPAT to visit its Cleveland, Ohio recycling yard on the same day. The visit allowed the discussion to move directly from the exhibition floor to the customer's actual operating environment.

To protect customer confidentiality, the customer's company name and personal information are not disclosed in this case study.
