Meet a First-Time Exhibitor at ReMA2026: Xcalibur XRF Serivce

From April 13 to 16, ReMA2026 - The Show is taking over Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and bringing together industry professionals in the recycling community to sharpen their skills, gain knowledge, build relationships, grow their businesses, and celebrate each other.

This year there's a sold-out show floor featuring plenty of new and returning exhibitors ready to showcase or demonstrate the latest recycling equipment, technological advancements, and more.

What attracts new exhibitors to attend ReMA's convention? ReMA News spoke with new exhibitor Ron Williams, President at Xcalibur XRF Service about what the company is looking forward to showcasing at ReMA2026 and why they decided to attend their first ReMA convention.

Tell me about the company and your operations.

Elvatech is a manufacturer of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers with decades of engineering and production experience. In the United States, we have been working together with our partner Xcalibur XRF Services since the early 2000s - historically with a strong focus on precious metals and jewelry/materials analysis, where accuracy, repeatability, and trust are non-negotiable.

Today Elvatech is significantly expanding production capacity and entering new industrial segments globally. One of the most strategic directions for us is the U.S. recycled materials market. We're bringing our proven XRF platform and manufacturing reliability into a high-throughput environment where yards need faster decisions, fewer costly mistakes, and a practical path to measurable ROI.

At ReMA2026, this is exactly what we're here to do: connect with yard operators and leadership, learn their real operational pain points, and demonstrate how an XRF workflow- supported locally by Xcalibur-can help improve grading confidence and receiving efficiency.

I want to add that the real product is a standard, not a gadget. When yards measure consistently, they reduce disputes, improve pricing discipline, and build a repeatable quality standard across people, shifts, and (for larger groups) across multiple operations.

We're first-time exhibitors at ReMA because we're serious about the U.S. market. Elvatech is an engineering-driven manufacturer, and Xcalibur provides the U.S.-facing sales and service presence-so customers get both: proven hardware + local support structure.

How did you hear about ReMA and how did you decide to exhibit at ReMA2026?

We first heard about the convention years ago-back when it was still ISRI-and multiple partners consistently recommended it as the place to meet serious scrap operators and decision-makers.

We decided to exhibit because we're entering the U.S. recycled materials market. We want to meet recyclers face-to-face, understand their streams and pain points, and show how a faster, lighter, stable XRF can materially change day-to-day receiving and margin control.

What are you looking forward to at ReMA2026?

Three things:

1. Real conversations with operators and yard leadership about where money leaks in the recycled materials industry-mis-grading, claims, bottlenecks at receiving, and inconsistency across shifts or across multiple operations.
2. Pressure-testing our approach-we're not coming with a "feature tour," we're coming with an ROI-first framework and a repeatable demo flow that's grounded in real yard math.
3. Building relationships with first-time visitors to our booth who want a practical alternative to the classic "buy a gun + pay forever" model.

What do you plan to showcase to attendees at ReMA2026?

At the booth, we'll showcase the ProSpector 3 Scrap Edition and, more importantly, the business outcomes it's built for:

• Throughput: a faster analyzer means more real tests per shift-especially in the last hours of the day when fatigue usually causes "eyeballing." Our handheld is built to stay usable for a full shift because it's about 1.1 kg, which materially changes operator behavior and compliance with the process.
• Confidence against claims: stable, repeatable results for the grades that cause the most expensive mistakes (stainless, high-temp, Ni alloys).
• Predictable ownership economics: we'll explain our No Hidden Tax approach-no mandatory annual calibrations framed as a subscription, and a transparent service philosophy focused on long-term partnership.

We'll also show two practical "next steps" attendees can take after a quick booth conversation:

• A Confidence Snapshot (a short intake followed by personalized PDF with estimated loss range from mis-grades/claims and indicative payback); and
• a structured ROI & Risk Session (a decision conversation, not just a demo).
