LC International Announces Authorised Distributor Partnership with REP-TEC Balers & Compaction Equipment
Jan
We’re excited to share a major milestone for LC International. Beginning in 2026, LC International will become an authorised UK distributor for REP-TEC’s industry-leading balers and compaction equipment, a partnership that perfectly aligns with our daily work and long-term vision in the recycling and waste management sectors.
As a company working every day within waste recycling facilities across the UK, we’ve seen firsthand how efficient material processing makes all the difference in throughput, sustainability, and operating costs. That’s why joining forces with REP-TEC feels like a natural next step, a synergy that benefits our customers and the broader recycling ecosystem.
Why REP-TEC? A Leader in Automated Recycling Solutions
REP-TEC is recognised for its innovative approach to automated recycling technology, specialising in high-performance balers designed for modern recycling operations. Based in Northern Ireland, the company has rapidly grown to become a leader in the design and manufacture of equipment that helps material recovery facilities (MRFs) improve efficiency, reduce costs, and drive sustainability.
Their product range includes fully automatic twin-ram balers, bespoke conveyor systems, baler refurbishments, and real-time performance reporting systems, all engineered to handle a wide variety of material types such as plastics, metals, cardboard, RDF/SRF and more.
One of the standout developments from REP-TEC is its Eco-Drive technology, which optimises hydraulic energy use to deliver significant energy savings and reduced operating costs without compromising performance.
This commitment to innovation and efficiency makes REP-TEC balers ideal for busy recycling facilities, the very environments where LC International operates and supports customers every day.
A Partnership Built on Shared Experience
At LC International, we pride ourselves on being more than just equipment suppliers, we are partners in performance improvement for plant owners and waste processors. From servicing and repairs of excavators and mobile plant, to heavy haulage, HIAB operations, and bespoke engineering work, we are deeply embedded in the heavy-duty end of operations.
Joe Ricketts, LC International’s founder, says:
“Having worked daily within waste recycling facilities across the UK, it feels like a perfect synergy to form a longstanding partnership with REP-TEC. Their equipment complements our service offerings and helps our customers solve real challenges on the ground. We’re proud to officially begin this collaboration in 2026, keep your eyes peeled for what’s coming next.”
This partnership means we can now offer advanced baling and compaction solutions directly to our customers, backed by the trust and support of both LC International’s service network and REP-TEC’s engineering expertise.
