ACCORDING to metals recycler Sims Group, its merger with US-based company Metal Management is working well four weeks after the deal.
The group said within that time period, the two companies have found cultural common ground.
The company expected scrap metal prices to remain high, as resources are depleted globally. Strong growth from Asia is seeing demand soar for metals, particularly ferrous materials. Recycled scrap metal is one source for these raw materials.
The move into the US market was made in response to the depreciation of the US dollar against other currencies. The company claims the current climate means it will be able to recover from a crisis last year when the cost of procuring the scrap outweighed the profits from selling the materials.
