Gerdau Sidenor has recently opened a scrap recycling facility of 24,000 square meters in the province of Guadalajara where the company receives and adapts the scrap for shipment to mills Reinosa and Basauri.

As reported by the group in a statement, the facilities, with a storage capacity of 10,000 tonnes, Gerdau Sidenor allow access to suppliers of central and southern Spain and increase the volume of scrap received from that area.

In the new facility, located in Azuqueca de Henares, Gerdau Sidenor receives, sorts, stores and prepares the scrap for shipment to the mills of the steel company in Reinosa and Basauri. This will allow providers access to central and southern Spain and increase the volume of scrap received from that area.

The center has a storage capacity of 10,000 tonnes of scrap and the possibility of direct loading to rail, which is an advantage from a logistical standpoint.

Gerdau Sidenor has production plants in the Basque Country, Cantabria, Madrid and Catalonia. The production capacity exceeds one million tonnes a year of special steels, primarily for automobile manufacturing, machinery and equipment, shipbuilding, civil, defense, energy, mining and petrochemical sector.

It also has one of the largest R&D in the steel industry in Europe focused on technological advances to optimize their processes and products.
