30 Extrusion International 1/2026 30 INDUSTRY NEWS Redback Enters the U.S. Market Doppstadt Umwelttechnik is ex- panding its international product portfolio by introducing Redback Grinders in the United States. The machines are known for their robust- ness and performance. They mark Doppstadt’s entry into the horizontal grinder segment of the North Ameri- can recycling market. Proven performance meets new opportunities: Redback horizontal grinders may be new to North Ameri- ca, but their reputation for toughness and durability has been proven for de- cades in one of the harshest operating environments in the world – Australia. Redback draws on over 100 years of experience in designing and manu- facturing heavy-duty machinery. Their grinders are engineered to withstand extreme conditions while delivering exceptional throughput and consis- tent performance. "Durability is at the heart of the Redback philosophy. The oldest known machine still in opera- tion was built 30 years ago," explains David Stubbs, founder of Redback. With the introduction of two mod- els specifically designed for the U.S. market – the DS800T with 785 hp and the DS1125T with 1125 hp – Redback combines Australian toughness with German engineering precision and American practicality. Both models feature powerful Caterpillar® diesel engines, advanced contamination protection, and an accessible design that allows for straightforward field maintenance. A strategic partnership for sustainable growth Through the partnership with Ecov- erse LLC, comprehensive nationwide support for Doppstadt’s new Redback grinders is ensured across the USA and Canada. Ecoverse’s established dealer network provides expert service, reli- able parts supply, and technical train- ing to maximize machine uptime and customer productivity. "After conducting an intensive mar- ket analysis, we are convinced that Redback horizontal grinders are ideal for consistently meeting the require- ments of the U.S. market in high-speed grinding,” says Sascha Platte, product manager at Doppstadt Umwelttech- nik GmbH. “We combine proven en- gineering excellence with tried-and- tested technology – for machines that deliver in the field.” Built for America – tough, efficient, and dependable Redback grinders are designed for versatility and performance across a wide range of applications, including green and wood waste processing, land clearing, or storm debris cleanup. They produce valuable end-products such as mulch, compost, or biofuels – enabling customers to operate effi - ciently and profitably. True to the motto “Proven Tough. Seriously Reliable”, Redback sets a new benchmark in high-speed grind- ing with its launch in the U.S.: com- bining proven toughness with Dopp- stadt’s global engineering excellence and a commitment to long-term value for its customers.
