U.S. Market Challenging but Forward-Looking
Linz, March 20, 2026 – RUBBLE MASTER, the global market leader in mobile crushing and screening equipment for construction and demolition waste recycling, showcased Austrian quality at CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas, the largest trade show in North America. All machines on display were sold directly at the event, deals were closed, and several additional partnership opportunities are currently in the pipeline.
The U.S. market has always been challenging. At the same time, the overseas market is considered very strong and is expected to grow significantly in the future. According to industry visitors, the “Trump-style” tariff policies are largely not seen as obstacles, and the outlook for the coming months remains positive.
“We spoke to many customers—both existing and potential—and the feedback was unanimous: the sentiment is positive, tariffs are not dampening business, and there is always a way forward,” reports Werner Ammerer, Head of Global Marketing at RUBBLE MASTER, who was personally present at the show. He adds: “Even the economic situation in the U.S., including high supply costs, does not seem to be slowing this upward trend. However, it is still too early to assess the impact of the conflict in the Persian Gulf.” For RUBBLE MASTER, which operates worldwide, Europe remains the most important market, followed by North America, Latin America, and the Middle East. The export ratio is approximately 96%.
Quality as the Most Important Flagship
Many international markets—including the U.S. and the Middle East—are placing increasing emphasis on certified quality standards and ISO certifications when awarding contracts. For RUBBLE MASTER, quality is far more than a buzzword: it forms the foundation for long-term partnerships and trust among customers worldwide. To ensure these high standards over the long term, the company undergoes extensive audits and certification processes. With these ongoing quality check-ups, the Upper Austrian company guarantees reliable top-tier quality for customers around the globe.
