Flexibility, market adaptation allow recycler to thrive

摘要

With its wide reach and full menu of obsolete, prompt industrial, high-quality shredded and plate and structural ferrous scrap, Sims Metal Management LLC is well positioned to keep servicing U.S. steel mills and the export market in a timely, safe and eco-friendly way, much as it has done since the company was created through the merger of Sims Group Ltd. and Metal Management Inc. in 2008 "Almost all of our shredding operations around the United States are located either on blue water (deep-sea ports), brown water (the river system), are on rail spurs or are adjacent to major highway routes," said Bob Kelman, president of the New York-based company's North American metals unit. Because of that, Sims Metal Management is "uniquely positioned" to be flexible and adapt to the changes in market demand that are common in the ferrous scrap industry, he said.
