U.K. Scrap Metal Recycler Lands Large Contract

The John Lawrie Group, a scrap metal recycling firm based in Aberdeen, U.K., reports that it has secured a multi-million pound scrap metal export order with a Spanish steel mill. According to the company, The John Lawrie Group will process and ship more than 50,000 metric tons of ferrous metal by the end of March. The metal will come from three of the company’s scrap yards in Scotland.

The company also notes that it processed and shipped 20,000 metric tons from its Aberdeen facility to honor another contract.

“February was one of John Lawrie Group’s busiest ever months processing and exporting scrap metal. To have processed and exported 14,000 metric tons of recycled metal in just ten days – and 20,000 metric tons in the whole month – is a huge testament to our staff. It also supports the investments which we have made in our facilities in recent years,” says Dave Weston, John Lawrie Group’s operations director.

In addition to its facilities in Scotland, John Lawrie Group operates facilities throughout Europe, Scandinavia, United States, Canada, the Middle East and China.
