About Schwäbische Metallverwertung
Schwäbische Metallverwertung GmbH (SMV) is a medium-sized recycling company headquartered in Göppingen. Its core business comprises the trade, storage and processing of new and scrap metals as well as metal-bearing residues. The materials handled include steel scrap, alloyed steel scrap (Cr, Ni, Si, Mo), non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminium, zinc and lead, cable scrap, and single-grade products for foundries. Processing is carried out, among other things, with a 650-t shear, a 400-t shear, a press for baling automotive sheet metal, and a cable processing plant with a pre-shredder, granulator, separation table, tumbling screen system and washing table.
