REDWAVE – Technology from the Green Heart of Austria

Austria is a country where environmental awareness and protection are deeply rooted in everyday life. Sustainability is more than a concept – it’s a lived commitment. It’s no coincidence that this culture of responsibility gave rise to REDWAVE.

REDWAVE, the technology brand of BT-Systems GmbH (part of BT-Group Holding GmbH), was established in 2004 in the green heart of Austria. Its roots go back to 1997, when Heinrich Fuchs founded BT-Wolfgang Binder GmbH. Originally focused on plant engineering for the mineral and conveying industries, the company soon evolved into a pioneer in sensor-based sorting technologies.

Today, sorting technology is at the core of REDWAVE’s expertise. Over the past two decades, the company has become a leading provider of high-performance, AI-supported sorting systems and a trusted innovation partner in the global recycling and waste processing sector.

With subsidiaries in the USA, Germany, and Singapore, and its headquarters in Austria, REDWAVE operates on a global scale. Our company campus was built in line with the latest sustainable construction standards – a tangible reflection of our commitment to energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

On July 24, 2024, BT-Wolfgang Binder GmbH and BT-Anlagenbau GmbH were merged to form BT-Systems GmbH as part of a strategic realignment. This consolidation of expertise has created a forward-looking technology leader with strong innovative power and an international focus.

Today, REDWAVE employs around 400 people in Austria and across its international offices. Together, we continue to shape a global success story and remain a reliable, forward-thinking partner in a rapidly evolving industry.

Customers, industry partners, experts, and research institutions – we are all part of this shared journey. Because the future of the circular economy is built together.

We love what we do and we want to do it for a long time. Research, innovation, sustainability and intelligent technology are our driving forces.

REDWAVE - history

With great vision, courage and enthusiasm, Heinrich Fuchs dared to become an independent entrepreneur and started the company BT-Wolfgang Binder GmbH in 1997 with only seven employees, in which Mr. Wolfgang Binder, Managing Director of the BT-Group, took an interest.

 

The REDWAVE brand was founded in 2004 and has since been active in the fields of recycling and waste treatment using the REDWAVE sorting machines. These sorting machines have not only developed a lot technically in the last few decades, but their appearance has also changed a little.

In mid-2024, BT-Wolfgang Binder GmbH was merged into BT-Systems GmbH as its universal legal successor. This merger brings together two internationally successful technology companies, BT-Wolfgang Binder and BT-Anlagenbau, to form a forward-thinking and innovative market leader.
