24 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 16, 1989 Now employes nine people Compact services strong Less than two years ago, Rick Johns was operating a business literally in his front yard. Today, his company, Cana- dian Compactor Service Inc. employs nine people full time (and is looking for more) has run out of space in a small facto- ry just west of Port Perry, and is scrambling to fill orders that are coming in each day. In fact, Mr. Johns told the Star last week that by this fall, he hopes to be operating a full assembly line with 16 employ- ees in a 6,000 square foot facto- ry on Durham Road 8, just west I. Rick Johns of Canadian Compactor Services Inc. The Port Perry company is growing by leaps and bounds supply- ing equipment for the re-cycling industry. With Rick is his mother Audrey Hall, who works as secretary-treasurer for the company. AUDREY HALL & RICK JOHNS of CANADIAN COMPACTOR SERVICE INC. -- would like to introduce their staff -- of Port Perry. The reason is the garbage crisis and this country's grow- ing awareness that recycling is the way of the present and fu- ture. No matter what the gener- al economy does, Mr. Johns says business, industry and government know that "re- cyclingis here to stay." His company builds ma- chinery for the re-cycling indus- try, from small balers to mas- sive two stage units capable of compacting and baling scrap metal, plastics, textiles or paper. There are other companies that make balers and compac- tors for industrial re-cycling, but Mr. Johns says his firm will design and manufacture a com- plete system built to the precise specs of the customer. That system could include ramps, conveyor belts, shred- ders, the baler, hoppers and bins, even a large "guillatine" blade for chopping up chunks of plasticor hard rolls of paper. . This fall, if the expansion goes as plans, Mr. Johns is hop- ing to build three sizes of baler and two sizes of compactors on an assembly line process. The company is now filling orders from all over Ontario and Canada, and Mr. Johns is exploring the possibility of mar- kets in the United States, Eu- rope and other overseas coun- "tries. He's a small engine me- chanic, who by his own admis- sion loves to tinker and repair machinery of any kind. Six years ago, he started designing machinery and build- ing in the driveway of his home in Nestleton. About 18 months ago, the business had grown to the point where he moved to a plant in the Reach Industrial Park west of Port Perry. ) The business has taken off with virtually no promotion or advertising, but that is soon to change.
