“What the world today calls waste — to FEECO International, they are really just raw materials for products that haven’t been invented yet,” stated Dan Madigan, President of FEECO. FEECO International, Inc. was founded in 1951 developing solutions to companies worldwide in a variety of industries–helping to convert waste to usable products. We work hard to create usable solutions from wastes that would normally go into landfills.
