Reduction Engineering Scheer, a Kent, Ohio-based supplier of pulverizers, pelletizers and rotational molding equipment used by plastics processors, has named Josh Bere as an authorized distributor of the company’s pelletizer and pulverizer line in Canada. That line includes models sold into the recycling and reprocessing sectors.

Bere is a 15-year veteran of the plastics industry and is president of Ichor Industrial Inc., a multitrade services contractor based in Kitchener, Ontario.

“We’re pleased to establish this distribution relationship with Josh, who has quickly established himself as a leading service supplier and installer of machinery and equipment for the plastics industry in Canada,” says John Sly, sales manager for Reduction Engineering Scheer. “We expect the new supply channel will help expand our presence and boost growth for our industry-leading products throughout Canada.”

Ichor Industrial Inc. bills itself as a multitrade services contractor that offers equipment services, commissioning and installation of machinery and optimization services.

Bere will represent Reduction Engineering Scheer in Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba.

“We welcome this new distribution arrangement which expands our portfolio options for customers,” says Bere. “RE Scheer’s unique line of pelletizers and pulverizers deliver distinct advantages to compounders and recyclers, thus we see strong opportunities in the Canadian market.”

Bere previously served for 15 years as a maintenance manager for a U.S. supplier of color
concentrates and compounds. He worked on a range of corporate projects as a designer and builder of compounding equipment and installed systems for plastics manufacturers in Canada. He is a certified maintenance management professional (MMP) through the Plant Engineering and Maintenance Association of Canada (PEMAC).
