Founded in 2005, Panama Hydraulics & Recycling Co. has grown from a small local workshop to one of Panama's most trusted names in hydraulic cutting and recycling equipment. What sets them apart is their deep understanding of the recycling industry's unique needs. They specialize in hydraulic cutter equipment designed for precision and durability—whether you're slicing through thick steel cables or processing scrap metal for reuse. Their product lineup includes portable hydraulic cutters for on-site jobs and industrial-grade models for factory floors, but their real claim to fame is their cable recycling equipment. Paired with their scrap cable stripper equipment, these systems make it easy to recover copper and other valuable metals from old cables, a critical process in Panama's booming recycling sector. What customers love most? Their after-sales service. From installation to maintenance, their team of technicians is always on call, ensuring minimal downtime. "We don't just sell machines—we build partnerships," says Maria Gonzalez, the company's sales director. It's this mindset that has earned them repeat business from recycling plants and scrap yards across the country.
2. Metro Industrial Solutions
Metro Industrial Solutions, established in 2010, has quickly become a go-to for businesses in Panama City and beyond looking for heavy-duty hydraulic equipment. While they offer a range of tools, their hydraulic press machines and hydraulic baler equipment are standouts. The hydraulic press machines are built for versatility—capable of bending, punching, and cutting metals with adjustable pressure settings, making them ideal for manufacturing and construction sites. Meanwhile, their hydraulic baler equipment is a favorite among waste management companies, designed to compress recyclables like cardboard, plastic, and metal into compact bales for easy storage and transport. But it's their hydraulic briquetter equipment that's gaining traction in the mining and metal processing sectors. These machines transform loose metal shavings and scraps into dense briquettes, reducing waste and making materials easier to melt down or transport. What makes Metro Industrial Solutions unique is their focus on customization. They work closely with clients to modify equipment to fit specific workspace constraints or production goals. "Every business is different," explains Juan Rodriguez, their lead engineer. "A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't cut it here." With a showroom in downtown Panama City and a warehouse in Colon, they're also known for fast delivery—critical for businesses that can't afford delays.
3. EcoRecycle Tech Panama
For companies prioritizing sustainability, EcoRecycle Tech Panama is a top choice.

5. Panama Metal Processing Ltd.
With over 25 years in the industry, Panama Metal Processing Ltd. (PMP) is a veteran in the field. Established in 1998, they've weathered economic ups and downs by focusing on quality and adaptability. Their core product is hydraulic cutter equipment, but they've expanded over the years to offer a full suite of metal processing tools, including hydraulic briquetter equipment and metal melting furnace equipment. Their hydraulic cutters are built for heavy use—think scrapyards processing tons of metal daily—and are known for their low maintenance needs. The hydraulic briquetter equipment is designed to handle everything from aluminum shavings to steel chips, compressing them into dense blocks that fetch higher prices at recycling centers. Meanwhile, their metal melting furnace equipment is a hit with foundries and metalworking shops, offering efficient, high-temperature melting for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. What keeps customers coming back to PMP is their reliability. "We've had their hydraulic cutter for 10 years, and it still runs like new," says a scrapyard owner in David. "Their technicians are quick to respond when we need help, and parts are always in stock." With a factory in Chiriquí province, they also pride themselves on supporting local jobs—a point that resonates with businesses looking to partner with homegrown companies.
6. GreenMachinery Panama
GreenMachinery Panama, founded in 2015, is all about holistic sustainability—their equipment doesn't just process materials; it also minimizes environmental impact. While they offer hydraulic cutter equipment and cable recycling equipment, their air pollution control system equipment sets them apart. These systems, designed to work alongside hydraulic cutting and recycling machines, capture dust, fumes, and emissions, ensuring compliance with Panama's strict environmental regulations. For example, a scrapyard using their hydraulic cutter equipment and air pollution control system can operate without releasing harmful particulates into the air, protecting both workers and nearby communities. Their cable recycling equipment also includes built-in dust collectors, and their scrap cable stripper equipment uses low-noise motors to reduce workplace sound pollution. What's impressive about GreenMachinery is their commitment to research and development. They partner with local universities to test new eco-friendly technologies, and they recently introduced a line of solar-powered hydraulic tools for off-grid operations. "Sustainability isn't a trend for us—it's the future," says Rodrigo Perez, their R&D head. With a focus on small to medium-sized businesses, they also offer rental options for companies that need equipment temporarily, making green technology accessible to more players in the market.
