Roswell, Georgia-based Greenland (America) Inc. has announced adding to its scrap metal buying team with the hiring of Scott Greenberg.
Greenberg is a 30-year veteran of the scrap recycling industry with his roots in the red metals and precious metals foundry business, starting with his family’s Philadelphia-based business Franklin Smelting, which closed in 1997.
Subsequently, Greenberg has worked in the industry as a buyer, seller and processor of many types of scrap metal. He spent nearly 15 years with Charlotte, North Carolina-based Global Recycling, one year with a domestic scrap processor with yards in Michigan and Florida, and then three years working for Columbia, Pennsylvania-based Colonial Metals as its vice president of purchasing. That company closed this June.
“Greenland (America) is thrilled to have Scott join the team,” says Randy Goodman, executive vice president of the firm. “I have known Scott for more than 25 years, and he always has been both a friend and valued trading partner. Now I get to introduce him to our Greenland family and continue to grow the business.”
Greenland’s President Vishal Jatia says, “Greenberg is the perfect addition to our team and has already hit the ground running. His energy and both depth and breadth of knowledge about our industry and our side of the business is going to be a great asset for the team.”
Jatia says Greenland (America) has gone through a relative “growth spurt” the past three years with the addition of Goodman in 2015, Dan Przybeck (senior trader) in early 2017, Lucia McElveen (commercial administration) in 2017 and now Greenberg as a senior trader.
Jatia attributes that growth to Greenland’s “global footprint of buyers and vigilance to staying focused on the countries that are currently buying scrap, including the new developing scrap receiving countries.” Pairing that approach with what Jatia calls a virtual “dream team” of buyers, “and we see a bright future for Greenland and its customers,” he adds.
Greenland describes itself as a global trading company with an emphasis on exporting nonferrous and ferrous scrap metal. The company has been in the metal trading business for more than 35 years and is a third-generation family business. With headquarters in Roswell, Georgia, and offices in India, China and Australia, Greenland says it covers the world by working with buyers of scrap in an evolving marketplace.
