Global Commitment

The Scholz Group, which includes numerous subsidiaries and firms under the umbrella of Scholz AG, employs a total workforce of about 4,000 employees throughout the world. The company headquarter is in Essingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The Scholz Group has direct interest in 50 companies and holds indirect interest in 500 sites within Europe. We provide full area coverage with collection centers and recycling sites in more than 20 countries throughout Europe.

In Germany, the Scholz Group is one of the few recycling companies which are able to provide a complete recycling system by means of a wide range of processing methods. In facilities in Germany and Hungary, Scholz Aluminium GmbH manufactures a variety of products from secondary scrap aluminium, such as aluminium casting alloys for the light metal industry. In addition, we operate one of Germany’s most flexible steel trading firms, Scholz Edelstahl GmbH. Due to its unique logistics and warehousing strategy, the firm can supply steel of any grade upon short notice. Scholz Industrieservice GmbH has established itself as a reliable partner for innovative service concepts for industrial firms throughout southern Germany.

The Scholz Group is also poised for expansion outside Europe. In addition to operating sites in the U.S.A. and in Mexico, Scholz also plans to expand its business activities to Central and South America. The opening of a processing center in Morocco also demonstrates our intention to continue our expansion in North Africa. The Chinese recycling market promises to have great potential, and we are intensifying our operations there as well.
