Sims Metal Management, the world's largest listed metal recycler, recently announced that it had completed its acquisition of UK based recycler All Metal Recovery Ltd (AMR).
Founded in 1986, AMR's competitive approach placed it as one of the fastest growing metal recyclers in the UK, securing supply approval from Corus as well as worldwide export custom.
Tom Bird, Sims UK Managing Director stated "We are delighted ... and look forward to welcoming the team from AMR ... We have been looking to build our presence in the strategically important central location of the West Midlands for some time ... The AMR acquisition will build upon Sims metal recycling business in Halesowen, and is consistent with our strategy to source tonnes for our major facilities in the UK."
In addition to the two metal recycling yards in Smethwick, AMR's operations include a nearby four acre dedicated rail link facility for transporting ferrous and non-ferrous metal to UK steelworks and ports.
