TSR Acquires German Plant to Expand Copper Alloys Production

TSR Recycling

TSR Recycling, a leading European metals recycler, has successfully acquired Siegfried Jost GmbH & Co NE Metallhandel and its electric melting plant in Menden, Germany. The acquisition strengthens TSR’s position in the copper alloys market by adding advanced production capabilities, particularly in the smelting of copper alloys from recycled raw materials.

Expansion into Copper Alloys and Smelting Expertise

The Menden plant specializes in the production of copper alloys, which are used primarily in industries such as sanitation and glass manufacturing. These alloys include materials such as brass, special brass, nickel bronze, aluminum bronze, and gunmetal. Siegfried Jost also handles production residues like slag, dross, sand, and swarf, which are further processed in the electric melting plant to create high-quality alloys.

TSR’s acquisition not only broadens its portfolio but also allows the company to expand its expertise in smelting processes, particularly for copper alloys produced from recycled materials. The move marks a strategic step for TSR in enhancing its recycling capabilities and furthering its commitment to sustainable metal production. In a LinkedIn post on November 4, TSR emphasized that the acquisition would enable the company to leverage its in-depth know-how of smelting processes to meet the growing demand for high-quality copper alloys in various industries.

Strategic Growth for TSR Recycling

By integrating Siegfried Jost’s advanced alloy production facility, TSR is set to improve its market position and expand its service offerings in the copper alloys sector. The move aligns with the company's broader goals to increase its recycling operations, contributing to both sustainability and the growing demand for recycled metal alloys in European industries.
