Christie & Son (Metal Merchants) Ltd

Christie & Son Ltd is well-established, family-run business based at Renfrew on the River Clyde only six miles from Glasgow. We operate from a 23 acre river side location with its own dock, which enables us to sort, process and ship up to 10,000 tonnes of ferrous metal every month to scrap metal reprocessing facilities throughout Europe.Over the years we have invested heavily in plant, equipment and Quality Control systems to improve the efficiency of our operations and to meet the high environmental standards required in our industry. We are always seeking out new technology which will enhance the extraction of scrap metal so that we can offer the most competitive possible prices to both sellers and buyers.Our Processing Facility includes a 1000 tonne shear, a cable granulation plant, and a state-of-the-art fragmentising plant and separation system capable of producing high grades of both ferrous and non-ferrous Products. Whilst the majority of the processed ferrous scrap metal is exported, the non-ferrous is recycled within the domestic market.Since the 1950's we have added a number of specialised Recovery Services, such as our Dismantling Service, the Guaranteed Destruction of obsolete parts, and, most recently our end-of-life Vehicle Disposal centre.In the handling of all waste produce, we comply fully with all environmental regulations which are integrated within our quality management system. We also hold the relevant licences required from the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) to process and transport scrap metal.Christie & Son operates in accordance with the highest standards of Quality Assurance in compliance with all Health & Safety and Environmental Regulations.We operate a fully integrated Quality Management System to ISO 9001:2008 which controls every aspect of our purchasing, dismantling, metal recovery and export processes.For corporate partners this means that when you use our Dismantling and Recovery Services you can be sure that the process will proceed smoothly in accordance with all relevant Health & Safety and environmental regulations.
