Ferrostaal AG is expanding its activities in the field of recycling and environmental technology and is taking advantage of its presence in more than 60 countries to do so. The sale and financing of a cable recycling plant to Gulf Star Metals in Ajman will see the first machines from this sector installed in the United Arab Emirates.

 

The plant of the Danish manufacturer ELDAN will be able to process around 2.5 tons of cables per hour and enable the separated materials to be recycled. Once it has been manufactured and then transported to the Gulf state, the plant will be assembled in Ajman and will be commissioned midway through the year.

 

Joachim Ludwig, member of the Ferrostaal Executive Board, comments: “For customers it is a great advantage that in Ferrostaal they have a local partner who can help them to find and finance projects and can also offer advice and practical assistance for commissioning and subsequent maintenance.”

 

In the field of environmental technology and recycling, Ferrostaal offers plants and system lines for recycling cable scrap, end of life tyres, aluminium and  magnesium scrap as well as refrigerators and waste electrical and electronic equipment.
