WELCOME

JR Adam & Sons is a fourth generation family business, specialising in the processing of ferrous and non ferrous metals into high quality furnace feed, suitable for domestic and international smelters. The company has, over the years, responded to the environmental and quality standard challenges to recycle scrap metals into high grade raw materials. We have achieved this by continuously improving our operating plant and systems as well as striving to integrate innovative technology, to maximise the potential of waste recovery and recycling.

High Capacity Fragmentising and Separation
Within our plant at King George v Dock in Glasgow we operate a high capacity, sophisticated shredding plant, which is capable of processing in excess of 600 tonnes of steel per day. Much of the processed ferrous metal is exported direct to Europe via our deep water sea terminal, whilst non ferrous metals and other recovered materials are recycled into industry within Europe and the Far East by lorry and container.

SEPA Approved
As a result of our technology and capacity, we are recognised as one of the country’s leading metal processors and exporters. In addition, we utilise quality management systems, which are recognised and approved at Lloyds. In addition, we are accredited reprocessors through SEPA for packaging waste recovery. Such accreditation allows us to issue PERNs to obligated companies.

To support the capacity within our reprocessing plant, we operate a fleet of vehicles throughout Scotland and the North of England to collect scrap metal in various forms. To improve efficiency, we also employ our own, high capacity, mobile baling and shearing machinery, allowing us to prepare scrap, on customers’ sites, for economical transport to our plant in Govan.
