History

From collecting scrap with handcarts to 178,000 m² of recycling space and over 300 employees worldwide: Founded in 1898, Nord-Schrott has grown into a specialized wholesaler, production and disposal company through business foresight.

1970s and 1980s

Schrott-Lassen took over the activities of Christian Lassen, four years later Michael Lassen became managing director. Nord-Schrott GmbH & Co. KG was born through a further business combination with L. Feldhaus GmbH and at that time employed 30 people.

Nord-Schrott started in Flensburg with its headquarters in Lilienthalstrasse and at the business premises in Trollseeweg with 600 tons of Bronneberg shears. The 15,000 m² site on Lilienthalstrasse was gradually expanded to 70,000 m² and paved according to the most modern environmental guidelines. Concreted areas with sewers, coalescence separators, oil separators and reservoirs are standard. Maintenance and constant adaptation to new standards were also a matter of course back then. At the end of the 1980s, the company was expanded to include a shredder and a can mill.

At this point in time 40 people were employed at Nord-Schrott. The vehicle fleet has also been continuously expanded.

1990s and 2000s

Jens Roed became a partner at Nord-Schrott in the 1990s. With two new metal presses and special vehicles for loading overseas containers, a further expansion in the metal, aluminum, brass, cables and electric motors business was also achieved in the 90s.

The property area was again expanded by more than 55,000 m² in order to meet the larger space requirements resulting from increased activities in the area of ​​electronic scrap. The RecyclingPark in Husumer Straße was opened and a system for separating mixed metals was put into operation.

Nord-Schrott in Flensburg grew steadily and at that time employed 183 people on an area of ​​130,000 m². 256 employees worked for the entire group of companies. A new building on Lilienthalstrasse, which houses our in-house laboratory to ensure the consistently high quality of our raw materials, as well as other heatable warehouses were not long in coming. We also put another Leimbach shear into operation.

Nord-Schrott International with a trading office in Karben / Frankfurt was founded and in 2011 Joachim Middeldorf Rohstoffhandel GmbH from Krefeld was added as a further member of the Nord-Schrott family.

In addition, it quickly became clear that a company's own warehouse had to be opened in the Far East as well. That happened with Nord-Schrott India north of Mumbai in Gujarat. 192 employees now work in material processing and in the offices at the recycling area in Flensburg, which has now been expanded to 178,000 m². The group of companies employs 317 people worldwide.
