Andela Products started out as a tool & machine shop founded by James Andela and Jeffrey Andela in 1981.  It was a machining and fabrication shop serving the local community and area businesses in the industrial and agricultural sectors. Andela Products developed to include the design and manufacturing of special purpose machines, tooling and gauge work. 

 

Cynthia Andela joined her husband James in the operation of Andela Products in 1986.  In 1990, James and Cynthia Andela expanded the business to include products designed, manufactured, and marketed directly to the recycling industry.  The Andela Glass Pulverizer was the first product designed for the glass recycling industry.  This was followed by a wide range of equipment and systems for the glass and other recycling markets. 

 

Andela Products recently expanded to include a glass processing facility which pulverizes, washes, dries, and screens post consumer waste glass.  The resulting glass products are bagged and sold as sandblast abrasives (under the White Beauty name) and decorative landscape material (under the SUNSTONE name).  Andela Products designed, engineered, and installed this turnkey facility to perfect the concept of turning glass waste into value added commodities which can then be sold either wholesale or retail. 

 

In response to customer demand, Andela Products has assembled a team to provide turnkey systems which process a multitude of materials.  Over the years Andela Product progressed from small glass processing systems to multi-million dollar facilities which handle everything from bottles to appliances.

 

Andela Products is committed to staying on the cutting edge of innovation in order to continue to bring its customers the best technology available to solve their recycling issues as the industry continues to evolve and expand.
