About CRONIMET Ferroleg.
CRONIMET Ferroleg. GmbH, headquartered in Karlsruhe, specialises in the recycling and trading of stainless steel scrap. In addition to its core competence in Cr/Ni/Mo scrap (V2A/V4A), the portfolio includes high-speed and tool steel, carbide and tungsten alloys, titanium scrap and turnings, superalloys and special alloys based on cobalt and nickel as well as pure-grade foundry materials under the CRONIFOND® brand. Processing takes place in Karlsruhe using chip crushers, presses, alligator shears, briquetting systems, blasting systems and sorting by excavator or manually; stationary measuring systems monitor radioactivity. The business units STAINLESS, HSS & TOOL STEEL, W & WCCO, SPECIALTY METALS, TITAN and FOUNDRY supply steelworks in Europe and Asia as well as foundries and powder production.
