“Expanding into Thailand is a transformative step,” says Lars Holm Laursen, Director of APAC Sales. “We are now strategically positioned to offer quicker delivery, localized parts inventory, and on-the-ground technical support directly tailored to the rapidly growing Asian recycling market.”
The new facility’s proximity to the Laem Chabang deep-sea container port—just under 90 minutes away—drastically reduces inland transport times and streamlines direct shipments to key markets in North America, Europe, and MENA. This geographical advantage provides significant logistical efficiencies, including shorter lead times and reduced shipping costs.
“Thailand offers an optimal blend of skilled labor, favorable logistics, and proximity to core markets,” states Anusorn (TOP) Jaichawa, General Manager for the Chonburi facility. “Our ability to source components locally further enhances supply chain resilience and minimizes disruptions, translating into tangible benefits for our customers.”
With CM Shredders, Shred-Tech, and 3R Machinery united under the Heico umbrella, customers gain access to a uniquely comprehensive portfolio of recycling and size reduction solutions. This integrated approach enables seamless scalability and extensive resource sharing across facilities in Canada, the USA, the UK, and now Thailand.
“Our combined capabilities through Heico’s global infrastructure mean clients receive industry-leading technologies with consistent quality manufacturing, parts, service and support across all locations,” explains Mario Vazquez, Sales & Marketing Director. “Whether it’s a single machine or a complete turnkey recycling facility, customers can confidently rely on standardized processes and world-class after-sales support.”
The operational benefits of CM’s Thailand facility are substantial. Faster parts availability and localized technical expertise dramatically reduce downtime, directly boosting productivity and operational efficiency for clients across Asia. Moreover, the facility’s strategic alignment with Heico’s decentralized yet integrated business model provides CM Shredders with rapid decision-making autonomy and access to shared services such as global compliance, risk management, and robust financial backing.
In essence, CM Shredders‘ expansion into Thailand is not just a geographic move—it’s a game changer for global recycling equipment markets. By aligning world-class manufacturing consistency with localized responsiveness and Heico’s extensive resource network, CM positions itself as a formidable player dedicated to enhancing efficiency, reliability, and customer satisfaction across Asia and beyond.
