Alter Establishes Hong Kong Office

Alter Trading Corp. is establishing an office in Hong Kong. The office will serve to increase the company’s current business in China and focus on the expansion of other markets in the Pacific Rim. Alter will retain its representative office in Shanghai, China.

Robin Cai, formerly of Alter’s Shanghai representative office, will manage the Hong Kong facility, which will be known as Alter Metal Recycling Hong Kong Limited.

"The addition of a trading operation in Hong Kong will serve to enhance our strategic marketing plan for the region as we diversify our product base and move forward with our long term plan of expansion in Asia," said Robert Goldstein, chairman of Alter Trading.

Alter operates 31 metal recycling facilities and seven trading offices in nine states as well as two representative sales offices: one in Shanghai, China, and another in Hong Kong, China. Headquartered in St. Louis, it provides a direct supply of quality products and services, sourced both in America and abroad, to consumers in the United States and throughout the world.
