Motorcycling South Australia would like to welcome ProSort as the naming rights sponsor for the 2025 South Australian Motocross Championship.
ProSort is a family-owned company located in Melrose Park with a range of products for use in can and bottle recycling depots. The company came about in 2006 with a simple but effective design for a bin lifting aid to assist workers to lift full wheelie bins at can and bottle recycling centres. They were designed to fit on existing benches, and, as can and bottle returns spread across Australia, a modular bench was designed that can be flat-packed and sent anywhere. The company continued to grow as demand increased.
ProSort believe in keeping things local with all products designed and manufactured here in Adelaide. They are affordable, robust and effective in speeding up the processing, sorting and counting of clients’ containers, especially when they present with wheelie bins. At the heart of the business is design and innovation. With new designs from ProSort’s parent company, Cornell Design, they now have products that make all sorts of recycling simpler and more efficient all over Australia, from local sports clubs to high-rise buildings in the heart of the major capital cities.
Matt Rossi, State Manager of MSA states “We are delighted to have ProSort on board. It’s always great to have local South Australian companies involved in our sport. They are a true family business with professionalism and expertise, evident from their innovative designs.”
Phil Cornell, Director of ProSort adds, “Our family has a passion for Motocross and it’s a great pleasure for us to sponsor this year’s SA Motocross Championship. Three generations of Cornell are currently actively riding and we love being part of the sport, and the people in it. It’s a great competition and we look forward to dishing out the awards at the end of year dinner. Good luck to everyone taking part, stay safe and have fun!”
