About
Aperam Recycling
At Aperam Recycling, we keep high-value metals in motion. We are a global leader in the trading, processing and recycling of stainless steel scrap and high-performance materials like titanium and superalloys. Additionally, we specialize in the recovery of valuable ferroalloys from production dust and residues. With an extensive global footprint spanning more than 40 locations in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and South Africa, we operate one of the industry’s largest global networks – combining international-scale recycling with local sourcing expertise.
Every year, our team processes over one million metric tons of material, partnering with more than 4,000 suppliers worldwide. Our goal is simple: returning high-quality recycled materials to the market in exactly the composition required by steelmakers and manufacturers, drastically reducing the climate impact of primary production.
Jan Hofmann, CEO of Aperam Recycling and Aperam Services & Solutions Americas, puts it like this: “Recycling is not the end of the value chain. From our perspective, it is where the value chain begins.”
