Sunberg Limited-London,UK

As a global provider of procurement and logistical solutions for recyclable metals and the trusted partner of many companies worldwide we have an entrenched enthusiasm for the recycling industry and the benefits that it brings to communities and the environment.  

Know Your Business Partner
Sunberg Limited only purchases and sells materials through our headquarters in Hendon, London and we never use intermediary websites. Our commercial managers will never use gmail, hotmail, yahoo or aol email accounts to discuss company business with you and we will never ask for funds to be remitted to us via Western Union.

What we do

We help our customers compete by providing them with efficient, rapid, reactive supply chain management for procurement and final product delivery, allowing them to concentrate on their niche differentiation in the marketplace.
Initially Sunberg just met the demand for scrap metal for the Indian market. Today it has evolved into the trusted outsource solution for many organisations worldwide, keeping metals moving.
We recognise that our customers need to have supply chain optimisation in place through the use of new technologies, cost controls, delivery performance and strict inventory control. This enables their operations to be on a 'just-in-time' basis at optimum efficiency.

How we do it

In the global marketplace of metals, volatility and fast-paced changes are the norms. As an organisation we endeavour to assimilate the changes happening worldwide and quickly adapt our business practices accordingly, to be in a position to continue to bridge the gap between the supply source and our customers' needs, whatever the circumstance.
Our values of honesty, integrity, self-control and fairness govern our approach to business and we keep these values close to our heart and at the forefront of our mind. In addition, we recognise the value of the people that make our business happen and work with those individuals and organisations that have enthusiasm for the recycling industry and strive for fair trade practices.

Our aims and objectives are:

• to continue working in an effective, efficient, ethical manner with mutual trust and understanding.
• to align ourselves with best practices, delivering profits instead of seeking best prices.
• to differentiate ourselves by refraining from short term opportunistic purchases or sales.
• to retain stable business relationships with carefully selected partners.
• to provide a source and encourage the use of recovered metals rather than primary raw materials.
• to be local with a global reach.
• to retain the position of a respectable global supply chain management company.

Why we do it

Metals are essential for any commercial development and growth of society. There is a strong correlation between growth in population and the need to produce more to cope with their demand. Metals have the ability to maintain their original properties of strength and durability when they are recycled, without requiring as great an energy cost as the process for raw material extraction. As well as the compelling environmental benefits of using recycled materials, Sunberg knows that there need to be sound commercial reasons for using these products - supply needs to be readily available in industry-standard grades at fair trade prices.
To Sunberg, it makes both commercial sense and ethical sense for industry to use recycled materials, rather than extracting raw materials, and we ensure that our service provides a compelling argument for doing just that.Recycling one ton of steel conserves 2,500 lbs. of iron ore, 1,400 lbs. of coal, and 120 lbs. of limestone.

Our services

Sunberg provides a valuable outsourcing solution allowing its suppliers and customers to focus on their niche expertise without the expense of investment in supply chain and logistical management. Sunberg can conduct transactions as principal or provide the logistical expertise as a third party.
Sunberg sources quality materials for customers
Sunberg specialises in logistical complexities and seek to find solutions to ensure that what you need is delivered to you on time and to the standard you expect. We negotiate the bureaucracy and paperwork of transporting across different jurisdictions in order to provide you with a complete, 'door-to-door' service, maintaining full control of the shipment and providing constant monitoring and follow-up where needed.

Quality control

Ensuring regular supplies of consistent quality goods is just as important as pricing factors.
The key to ensuring that our products meet the needs of our customers is the close, enduring relationship that we have with our suppliers. We work only with carefully selected suppliers who work to the same exacting standards of ISRI and ISO 9001 as us. This ensures that they provide what we need, in the grade we expect, when we need it.
We monitor material not just from source but right through to processing and loading in containers. Material is supplied sorted, either loose, baled/briquetted, cut or shredded, and is shipped ready to be processed. Harmful elements are detected and any contaminated material removed.
Documentation is meticulously examined and full control of the shipment is maintained by Sunberg throughout the process.
