Jarshire to distribute Harris and IPS balers
Following the acquisitions last year of Harris Waste Management Group and IPS Balers by Avis Industrial Corporation, it has been announced that the environmental & recycling division of Jarshire Limited will become exclusive distributor for both companies in the UK and Ireland.
Jarshire has represented IPS in this territory since 2005. Harris’ own UK-based parts and service operation will assume responsibility for the after-sales care of both lines, while long-standing former distributor, John Scholefield of Eurobalers Ltd, will act as Jarshire’s consultant for the Harris range.
Harris UK and Jarshire are working together to expand the former’s parts stock-holding and to develop service coverage to cater for all their customers’ needs.
Jarshire director, Nick Jobson said: “Bringing together Harris and IPS will create a business with extensive knowledge and a wealth of experience in the supply of size reduction equipment to the waste, recovered paper and metal recycling industries. Together with Harris/IPS, we look forward to playing our part in developing an efficient and dependable sales and after-sales organisation.”
Harris UK general manager and Harris RSM for Europe, Peter Coates added: “Harris is delighted to be able to work with Jarshire and to give them the opportunity to build on their success over the last 10 years. Also, we wish to thank John Scholefield of Eurobalers for all his work for Harris since first joining the company in the 1970s. Harris and Jarshire will be working with John as he continues his activities in the used/refurbished machinery market, and we wish him all success in these endeavours.”
Jointly, Harris/IPS have over 100 two-ram balers in the UK and Ireland, baling a variety of materials including plastics, N/F metals, RDF, paper and board. Through Jarshire, they also offer an extensive range of open- and closed-end horizontal balers, as well as balers, shears and shredders for ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Cumbria Waste Group invests in new facility
Cumbria Waste Group (CWG) is investing more than £500,000 to build a new waste baling facility at its Hespin Wood site, near Carlisle.
The waste baler, being supplied by Ken Mills, will compact recyclables such as cardboard, plastics and cans, making them easier to store and transport. As well as reducing waste disposal costs for its customers, it will also mean CWG can generate extra income for customers through the sale of this material on the recycling markets, the company explained.
The baler, which can process six tonnes of waste per hour, will compact material collected from doorstep collection rounds, bring sites and commercial contracts and processed by CWG’s £1.25 million materials recycling facility, which opened last year.
Mike Bareham, Cumbria Waste Group managing director, said: “We are continually seeking new ways to improve the recycling process and through investment in new technology like this we are not only saving our customers money, we are also helping them to meet their environmental responsibilities as well.
“The baler produces highly compacted, clean bales of waste material, such as cardboard and plastics, which can then be sold on the recycling markets and, in some cases, provide a customers with a rebate on their waste.”
