Citiraya Opens Austin Plant

Singapore-based electronics recycler opens facility in Round Rock, Texas.

Citiraya Inc. celebrated the grand opening of its Round Rock, Texas, electronics recycling plant in November 2004 with a ceremony that included Round Rock Mayor Nyle Maxwell, International Association of Electronics Recycling President Peter Muscanelli, Citiraya – Singapore CEO Manfred Hamad and Charles Dromgoole of the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce.

The 32,000 square foot Austin-area plant is the first of three centers slated for the United States, Ian Bain, Citiraya business development manager, says. He reports that the plant is capable of processing 1,500 tons per month using one shift. “We segregate, demanufacture, pre-process and shred in the Austin facility.”

Citiraya sources electronic scrap from OEMs, OCM, and MNCs nationally and globally, Bain says. The company also receives consumer e-scrap from various recyclers and pre-processors nationwide.

“We offer optimum precious metal returns to our clients and comply with WEEE and RoHS Directives,” Bain says. “We have completed stage one of our ISO 14001 accreditation and are on track to be fully ISO accredited by Dec. 20, 2004.”

Citiraya is headquartered in Singapore and has 14 collection and pre-processing centers worldwide.
