In 1949 Karl and Gerhard Uriel founded Uriel Papierrohstoffe GmbH in Weilmünster. In 1987 Andreas Uriel joined the company as a further managing director.

In over five decades, Uriel has developed from a pure waste paper disposal company to a high-performance, medium-sized waste disposal and raw materials trading company. In cooperation with national disposal companies, Uriel can now offer its disposal services nationwide.

Uriel has a production area of ​​more than 50,000 square meters. At the Diez and Weilmünster locations, around 50 employees guarantee the high-quality processing of the collected waste. Every year more than 80,000 t of secondary raw materials are recovered and marketed to recycling industrial companies worldwide.
