The company
The company can look back on a long history. Founded in 1956 as an independent metal processor, it was brought under the metal processing collective in the 1960s.
After German re-unification in 1990, the business was newly founded as KMR Kabel-Metall Recycling GmbH in 1996 after eventful years of privatisation and belongs to the Dutch Van Hout Holding – NL Helmond.
Our company focuses on cable recycling and transformer/generator recycling. Further areas of work are collecting, transporting off harmful substances, sorting, storing and recycling electrical and electronic scrap as well as the scrap and metal business.
We are certified as a specialist waste disposal business for this purpose and operate plants that have been approved in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act and the 4th BimSchV (Federal Immission Control Ordinance). Our company is an ordinary member of the VDM Verband Deutscher Metallhändler (Association of German Metal Dealers) as well as the VDM Arbeitskreises Kabelzerleger (Working Group of Cable Dismantlers) and the Qualitätsgemeinschaft Kabelzerleger (Quality group of cable dismantlers) of the VDM.
The company currently has 47 employees (38 commercial employees, 6 staff members as well as 3 trainees learning the profession of industrial engineer). The professional qualifications and long years of experience of our employees guarantee high quality products and services.
