About EBM Esser
Entsorgungsberatung & -management Ralf Esser (EBM Esser) is an owner-managed recycling and trading company founded in 1995 in Mönchengladbach, specializing in copper and non-ferrous metals. The company purchases copper cable and non-ferrous metal scrap from businesses and processes it in its own cable shredding plant and cable peeling works. Through crushing, granulating and subsequent separation — since 2008 with a dry separation plant — copper granulate with high degrees of purity (quality 1a with 99.95 % Cu, 1b with 98 % Cu, 2 with 96 % Cu) as well as copper Millberry (electrolytic copper, at least 1 mm thick) is produced. Customers are copper smelters and foundries. The full-service offering includes the provision of containers and Euro wire mesh boxes from 1 to 35 cbm, free collection (full against empty) as well as on-site weighing with a calibrated electronic scale, including disposal and recycling certificates.
