Pittsburgh-based Cronimet has opened a scrap processing facility in Texcoco, Mexico. 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 US and overseas. Mr Oscar Roman, Cronimet’s scrap buyer in Mexico for the past 10 years, will be GM of the new facility. The 4 acre yard will have 2 shears and 3 balers and include a 4000sq/ft warehouse. In addition to its main yard in Rochester, the company operates full service stainless and alloy scrap processing facilities in Chicago, Decatur, Columbus, Houston and Los Angeles, as well as trading offices throughout the US.
