A growing metals recycling company has signed a new 10 year deal with the Port of Tyne to anchor the business in the North East.
European Metals Recycling (EMR) is a global leader in sustainable material with sites around the country, including its South Tyneside base, and it has been a key customer of the Port for the past 25 years. EMR has invested more than £1m into its Port of Tyne facility in South Shields, where it employs around 30 transport, operational, and commercial staff. The company plans to develop the site further to provide greater operational flexibility to manage global challenges.
It said the new 10 year agreement anchors the business in the region, driving growth for its own business and the broader regional supply chain. The contract will significantly increase the annual tonnage of ferrous and non-ferrous metals processed and shipped from the port to several global locations for reuse.
