Scottish recycling business John Lawrie Metals has been acquired by steel group ArcelorMittal, as part of its strategy to reduce carbon footprint.
The Aberdeen-based company will be responsible for helping the ArcelorMittal increase its use of scrap steel in steel making.
The deal was completed on 28 February, for an undisclosed sum, with the business continuing to be run by the current management team, including managing director Dave Weston and chief financial officer Charlie Parker.
