Over 50 TSR branches in Europe
REMONDIS’ subsidiary, TSR, has over 150 business locations focusing on the recycling of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap across Europe. HSK Metals, a fully owned subsidiary of TSR based in the Netherlands, expanded its network of six branches this spring when it acquired the Dutch firm, Van Dalen. Thanks to this takeover, HKS now has a further four business locations in the Netherlands and grown its operations in Belgium and the UK at the same time.
Van Dalen has a strong set up
Van Dalen operates from four business locations in the Netherlands: in Moerdijk, Nijmegen (close to the Dutch-German border on the River Rhine/Waal), Middelburg (Zeeland Province) and Doetinchem. The company also has a branch in the Belgian town of Geel as well as in Dagenham, a city in the UK just east of London.
Officially known as Van Dalen Metals Recycling & Trading, the firm began collecting, processing, recycling and marketing ferrous and non-ferrous metals many years ago. Founded as a family-run business in 1947, it has steadily grown its network over the years, investing in shredders, shears and balers to enable it to recover and sort the different raw materials according to type. Thanks to this acquisition, the TSR network now has a further four shredders, four shears and a facility using sink float technology.
HKS – a fully owned subsid-iary of TSR – and Van Dalen are now working together on the scrap metal market.
“Van Dalen’s network of six business locations and recycling technology is a perfect addition to our European network.”
Bernd Fleschenberg, Managing Director of TSR Recycling GmbH & Co. KG
Even more services for customers in the future
Rolf van Dalen – an expert in his field with over 30 years’ experience of the metal trade – took over the company in 1982. He joined the HKS Metals management team following their acquisition of Van Dalen. The company believes that this union will create synergies that will not only benefit their customers and their partners but also improve their services. “Van Dalen’s network of six business locations and recycling technology is a perfect addition to our European network,” commented Bernd Fleschenberg, managing direct-or of the TSR Group. “We will be able to work together to provide our clients with an even better portfolio of services as well as to expand our recycling activities and further strengthen our presence in the region,” he concluded. HKS and van Dalen are looking forward to expanding their operations in the Benelux countries and the UK together.
