The Perfect Integration: A Range Beyond Comparison
Until today, the scrap recycling market had to choose between the agility of compact units and the power of massive industrial systems. The entry of GPS S.r.l. into the Harris American family eliminates that compromise.
While Harris is a historical leader in heavy balers and shears for massive volumes, GPS completes the product range “downward,” offering extremely versatile, mobile, and high-performance scrap recycling machinery. This union allows us to offer the most extensive product portfolio globally, ensuring the right solution for any facility size, from local yards to multinational industrial waste processors.
GPS: The European Hub of the Harris American Group
With this acquisition, our workshop in Ovada is no longer just a factory; it has become the Strategic European Hub for all GPS and Harris products.
Supported by project managers and designers in the United States, GPS’s customization capabilities have grown exponentially. We are now able to integrate custom Made-in-Italy design with world-class American engineering power and scale.
💡 GPS Recommends: Performance vs. Price – The Real ROI
In today’s market, “price wars” often drive buyers toward cheaper machinery. However, true savings are measured by Cost Per Ton (CPT). GPS recommends always evaluating the baling cycle speed, energy consumption and the immediate availability of spare parts. A machine that is down for three weeks costs far more than the initial discount received at purchase. With the Destroyer and Predator lines, your ROI is secured by operational continuity and superior durability.
Don’t let undersized machinery stall your growth. Speak with our technical experts to configure your new GPS baler.
Why Do Destroyer and Predator Dominate the Market?
Our flagship models, the Destroyer and the Predator, were chosen to lead the expansion in the United States due to clear technical advantages:
- Superior Cutting Speed: Optimized work cycles designed to reduce energy consumption.
- Structural Heavy-Duty Build: High-resistance steels for a doubled service life.
- Versatility: Simplified transport systems for maximum on-site mobility.

FAQ
Will the acquisition change the quality of GPS products?
Yes, but only for the better. We will maintain our signature Italian design while gaining access to advanced materials, technologies, and R&D software from the American engineering center.
What changes for after-sales service and spare parts?
This is our most significant upgrade. We have established a new ready-to-ship spare parts warehouse at the GPS headquarters. Lead times for critical components have been drastically reduced.
Are Destroyer and Predator balers suitable for the US market?
Absolutely. They were engineered in Europe and have been enhanced to meet global industrial standards. They offer superior cutting force and bale density compared to the main competitors.
