About the company

Its operations link slag processing, which recovers useful materials from steelmaking waste, with aggregate mining and the manufacture of asphalt, concrete and cement alternatives. Customers buy its materials and hire its mill teams to process scrap, operate and maintain mobile equipment, and handle slag; jointly held businesses extend the group into ready-mix concrete and cement substitutes.
