Machine builders first

Decades of building presses, and the products that feed them

Balingwires is the consumables line of Valvan Baling Systems in Menen, Belgium, part of the Valtech Group. Valvan has spent decades engineering baling and sorting machines for recyclers and the textile industry across Europe and the United States. The wire and ties on this site are the products that go into those bales every day.

Every batch is made to perform under load, and tested for it: tensile strength and knot behaviour are checked so the tie holds when it matters. When you ask for a quote, you are talking to people who understand both the press and the product that feeds it.

Valvan Baling Systems counts around 114 people in Menen and serves recyclers and textile operations across Europe and the United States. Balingwires is the consumables line within that company: the same engineers, the same building, a different product.

Every batch is tested before it ties a bale

Tensile strength and knot behaviour are checked in-house. Tensile tells us what the wire carries; the knot tells us what it does when an operator bends it hard and the bale pushes back. Both matter, because a tie only fails at its weakest moment.

From workshop to truck

Packed and shipped by the people who made it

Bundles are taped, wrapped and labelled to your specification, so what leaves Menen arrives ready to use at the press.

  • Worker taping a bundle of straight wire with looped ends in the workshop

    Taping and wrapping, bundle by bundle

  • Worker packing two bundles of double loop bale ties into a woven bag

    Bagged for handling at the press
