Founded in 1919, when Wolfe Barnett first began collecting scrap metal for export to markets in industrialised countries, the SA Metal Group has grown from strength to strength and is today one of the largest metal recyclers in South Africa.		The Group is fully committed to preserving the fragile environment in which we live. Our state-of-the-art equipment is all designed to recover valuable metals from unsightly industrial wastes and to produce recycled industrial and consumer products from what would otherwise be pollutants and eyesores. No harmful practises such as burning or chemical pollution are used in any of our processes.
		All forms of both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals are collected and processed. Some of the cleaned prepared scrap is sold to local smelters for further processing, some is consumed in our own smelting, alloying and casting operations and the balance is exported all over the world.
