Cronimet, headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, began providing documented destruction of aircraft turbines in 2016. At the end of last year, the company recycled its first gas turbine, with the second one following in January of this year, Cronimet says.
"Both the customers and the manufacturers attach great importance to the documented destruction and recycling of gas turbines,” Gregor Zenkner, head of aviation recycling at Cronimet says. “Our experience in the recycling of aircraft turbines according to air safety standards is an optimal prerequisite for meeting such high requirements.
The company says it professionally dismantles the turbines, documents the destruction of the individual parts and eventually returns the secondary raw materials for reuse in manufacturing.
Cronimet is a specialist in stainless steel scrap, ferroalloys and primary metals. For three decades, the company has been supplying raw materials for the stainless steel industry. Founded in 1980, the company has more than 5,000 employees at more than 60 locations worldwide.
