Albert Sims, a Sydney-based recycled metals dealer, originally established Sims Metal Management in 1917, when he started to collect recyclables on a bicycle, before graduating to a horse and cart.Eventually the horse and cart were replaced by trucks and mechanized equipment, and the business was incorporated as Albert G. Sims Limited in 1928 and was renamed Simsmetal Limited in 1968.In 1970, it merged with Consolidated Metal Products Limited and the merged ASX-listed company was named Sims Consolidated Limited. In 1979, Sims Consolidated Limited was acquired by Peko-Wallsend Limited and subsequently delisted. Sims Consolidated Limited was then acquired by North Limited (previously known as North Broken Hill Holdings Limited, and then North Broken Hill Peko Limited) in 1988. In 1989, North Limited sold the business to Elders Resources NZFP Limited, a diversified resources company.

In 1990, Carter Holt Harvey Limited made a successful takeover bid for Elders Resources NZFP Limited and divested that company’s non-forestry businesses, which included Sims. Sims changed its name to Simsmetal Limited in 1990 and relisted on the ASX in 1991. In 2003, Simsmetal Limited changed its name to Sims Group Limited.
