Durable Equipment Built on Excellence

PRAB’s engineering knowledge stems from our extensive industry experience and thousands of scrap-handling equipment installations for the world’s leading OEMs and suppliers, each designed for the customer’s specific application and requirements. We are committed to delivering high-quality engineering, problem-solving, testing, servicing, and process improvements in metal scrap management and industrial wastewater recycling across industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, defense, energy, and more.

PRAB engineers and manufacturing staff do not just pull a previous idea off the shelf. The decision process begins with understanding each business’s methods, goals, requirements, and specific needs. Our engineers will then design and build the best solution for you to manage your metalworking waste in the most effective way—ensuring every hour of your production is optimized, allowing you to work more efficiently than ever, with no unplanned downtime and minimal operating costs.

We drive continuous improvement through the PRAB Production System, a blend of lean manufacturing and Six Sigma principles, with a laser focus on our customers’ needs.

We are culturally centered on the belief that our customers are our long-term business partners; achieving their business goals is why we must deliver on ours.
