87 years of history

What we build on

Our history goes back a long way. The first generation of the Van Hemert family founded Van Hemert Brakel in 1933. A progressive company using contract workers in the local market that further developed into a contracting and rental company. Under the second generation, the company developed to become a major player in earthmoving and road construction, areas in which it is still active.

In 2009, under the leadership of the third generation of the Van Hemert family, the Non-ferro Recovery Company was founded, or NRC for short. An international name that underlines what we do today: recovery of non-ferrous metals. In 2016, Aerinnova was founded to further expand the services we provide to our clients. Here the recovered metals resulting from processing at NRC are further processed and traded for the customer.

Our ambitions & challenges

By recovering ferrous and non-ferrous metals with the most advanced machinery, we provide the connecting link between waste processing and responsible recycling. Practice teaches us that we have developed the best mobile installations for recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Together we strive to be and remain the best in the field of raw materials recovery. In addition, we want to further expand our international position through constant innovation. Together with our passionate employees, we offer our clients unrivalled added value.

Technological innovation & product development

Improvement and innovation go hand in hand at NRC. Thanks to the open culture within the organisation, everyone contributes ideas about what could be done better and more inventively. Together we come up with product and process innovations to make us and keep us future-proof. Technological developments that enable us to always offer our clients the best.

Safety first

At NRC, our employees’ safety comes first. Believing that we can work safely together. We are open to communication about this, within our team and with our clients. NRC has a certified HSE management system. We take our employees seriously and make sure they enjoy the best working conditions.
