Mr. Bell elaborates, “When we made our first steps into the waste management industry, we found that we had a very narrow offering, so we designed further equipment to broaden our opportunities. We have designed equipment that is centred around turning waste products into value-add revenue streams. With the focus on the circular economy, it is about wasting less and reusing more. It’s doing very well in the US, and we are looking to showcase it in Australia and New Zealand in particular, because their local markets could really benefit from something like this, and it provides a homegrown alternative to European manufacturers’ machines.” He continues, “The Echo 4 three-phase machine separates oil, water, and solids in a single pass, which isn’t new, but our approach allows us to adjust the machine on the fly, meaning it doesn’t have to come to a full stop to change the system. We are bringing the Echo 4 to the market for use in waste streams that have traditionally been committed to deep burial- waste material from processing plants in pork, chicken, beef, etc. We essentially take the waste material, put it through our system, and transform it into something useful. We are producing thousands of gallons per day of oil from what was traditionally thrown away. Now, that saves our clients time and money in transportation and deep burial costs, but it also works towards carbon credits, produces a renewable income, and it’s a great opportunity to be more environmentally responsible.” Mr. Colenso adds, “We are also excited to release the next size up in our high-speed separator: the Quantum 30. This is a high- performance, self-cleaning, three-phase vertical disc separator that has a variety of use applications.” GTech differentiates themselves from the rest of their competitive market with their full- service approach and dedication to tailored solutions. By personalising their service to each customer, the company builds confidence and fosters genuine relationships. The team values integrity above all else. Mr. Bell explains, “Our reputation is very important to use. If we say we are going to do something, we do it. That’s our bottom line. We support our customers’ ideas and are willing to work with them to achieve the best possible outcomes- we invest in understanding their business, the market they serve, and the challenges they face. On top of all that, we provide them with bespoke training to ensure they know how to get the most out of our products.” Mr. Colenso concludes with a note on the future of GTech Global. “Our biggest goal moving forward is to continue growing our service capabilities to support sustainability. We plan to do that by diversifying our portfolio even further to include representation in all major industries that would benefit from our expertise and provide their members with the tools they need to care for our global environment.” PREFERRED VENDORS/PARTNERS n ABD Group www.abdgroup.co.nz ABD Group is a 100% Kiwi owned and operated engineering distribution business.
