History

Josef Hendrichs Metallhandels GmbH & Co. KG emerged from the Josef Hendrichs Metallgroßhandel founded in 1952. Continuous expansion of the company, managed by Klaus Hendrichs in the second generation, is the prerequisite for fully meeting the most modern requirements of customers, suppliers and also the environment. The team of forty competent employees manages administration and storage areas of 35,000 m² within the Krefeld area and, in combination with a state-of-the-art machine park and optimized logistics, guarantees the sorted processing of recyclable materials that are used by steelworks, foundries and the processing industry. With more than 60 years of experience in the steel and metal market, a trustworthy business base with customers and suppliers is always particularly important to us. Our individual flexibility and reliability are mainly characterized by fair dealings with partners and an integral part of our corporate philosophy. Long-term business relationships with partners at home and abroad clearly reflect this.
