Vecoplan LLC, a leading manufacturer and distributor of industrial shredding and grinding equipment, has announced the opening of Vecoplan Midwest LLC.

Based in Floyds Knobs, Ind., Vecoplan Midwest serves as the sales and distribution arm for Vecoplan equipment in a five-state area, a key trading area for Vecoplan, according to a press release from the company. Technical service capabilities will be added at Vecoplan Midwest in the near future, the company says.

"Vecoplan is fortunate enough to have teamed up with industry pros in the venture," Len Beusse, COO of Vecoplan LLC, says. Bill Miller serves as COO for Vecoplan Midwest, Ron King serves as the company's V.P. of sales, and Kathy Harbeson serves as the company's office manager.

Vecoplan Midwest is responsible for sales in parts of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois.
