Gebr. Swinkels Metaalrecycling B.V.
Heerlen, Beitel 74, Limburg, Netherlands

The Swinkels brothers have been a household name in Limburg for more than 50 years. About fifteen people work for them. There are also 6 large mobile cranes on the site for heavy work. Metals are purchased throughout Europe and processed on their own site. They export their materials to blast furnaces and foundries at home and abroad. The Swinkels brothers collect materials from around 400 containers at various companies throughout the Netherlands. The transport is carried out entirely by themselves by means of 9 trucks with their own staff.

The different materials (copper, zinc, aluminum, brass, iron, etc) are separated on their own site. Large boxes have been made on this 3.5 hectare site for orderly storage. There is also a radioactive detection gate on the site.
