RUF US Inc

RUF (pronounced 'roof') is the North American subsidiary of Ruf GmbH & Co. KG in Germany—a global leader in the development and manufacture of sophisticated industrial briquetting systems for more than 40 years. Leveraging the experience and technological resources of our parent company, we are pioneering the use of briquetting in the United States and North America as a cost-effective, more efficient way for industrial manufacturers and processors to recycle their inorganic and organic residual wastes.

Our briquetting systems can accommodate a wide range of residual materials to enhance recycling capabilities, create cost savings, and even generate new revenue streams. Briquetting residual waste is a perfect fit for new and ongoing environmental initiatives, and because most RUF systems pay for themselves in 18 months or less, the ROI can't be ignored.

The quality and durability of RUF briquetting systems set the standard for excellence in residual waste recycling all over the world, and in North America, we deliver that same innovative technology and quality along with superior client service and support that stretches from initial consulting and process integration to on-site implementation and maintenance.

A Proud Past Driving a Positive Future

Specializing in the development and manufacturing of briquetting systems, RUF GmbH & Co. KG was formed in 1969, in Zaisertshofen, Germany. Starting with a press for bark, RUF has grown into a multi-national business, supplying over 3,000 briquetting systems to industries in more than 100 countries around the globe.

In North America, we began in 2008 with the establishment of a headquarters and operations facility in North Olmsted, Ohio. Since that time, we have actively engaged manufacturers and processors across the continent to educate them about the many benefits of briquetting residual waste as part of environmental responsibility initiatives and revenue generation. As our message continues to spread, our briquetting systems are quickly becoming integral parts of operations throughout the United States and beyond.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help our clients maximize the efficiency and profitability of their operations while helping them reduce their carbon footprints and make positive impacts on the natural environment by providing the technology, service, and value they need to dispose of their residual waste materials in an environmentally friendly way that makes good business sense.
