Harsco Completes Deal for Excell

Deal strengthens Harsco's business outside North America.

Harsco Corp. has completed its previously announced acquisition of Excell Materials, Inc., a multinational company that extracts high-value metals content on behalf of leading steelmakers and also specializes in the development of minerals technologies for commercial applications.

Excell maintains operations at nine locations in the United States, Canada, Brazil, and South Africa. The company has also established a presence in Europe for future expansion. Excell extracts high-value metallic content from steel slag for production re-use. Excell's processes address the steel industry's increasing worldwide demand for environmentally responsible handling and recycling of its residual materials.

Excell joins Harsco's Mill Services Segment and will also share technologies and resources with the company's Reed Minerals division
