CRONIMET extends its reach with Mexican scrapyard
CRONIMET Corp. has set up its first scrapyard south of the Rio Grande.
The Pittsburgh-area stainless steel scrap processor has opened a full-service scrap processing yard called Pro Inoxa in Texcoco, a small town about 40 miles north of Mexico City, according to Frank Santoro, CRONIMET's vice president and chief operating officer.
The facility will handle nonferrous scrap metals as well as stainless and alloys. The metals will be shipped to specialty steelmakers and other scrap consumers in the United States and overseas.
Oscar Roman, CRONIMET’s scrap buyer in Mexico for the past 10 years, will serve as general manager of the new facility.
The new yard, equipped with two shears and three balers, spans a four-acre site and includes a 4,000-square-foot warehouse.
In addition to its main yard in the Pittsburgh suburb of Rochester, CRONIMET also operates full-service stainless and alloy scrap processing facilities in Chicago, Decatur, Ala., Columbus, Houston and Los Angeles, as well as trading offices throughout the United States.
The company is the U.S. subsidiary of CRONIMET GmbH, a Karlsruhe, Germany-based stainless and specialty steel scrap processor. The parent company has trading offices and processing facilities throughout Europe, Asia and South Africa.
