Trading of non-ferrous metal scrap

Ever since its foundation Fémker Ltd. has been dealing with collection, preparation and merchandising of non-ferrous metal scrap – at the widest range available. Non-ferrous scrap deriving from collction, mainly from production sites, as well as purchasing from wholesalers and smaller traders. Handling of non-ferrous scrap equals and fulfils all requirements and rules of the environmental directions of the European Union. Domestic and relevant international regulation. Collection is executed by transportation to our yard or using own containers, forwarded to our premises by our fleet. Beyond complex pre-treatment of the scrap we also offer complex in case our partners can receive a better service this way.

Scaling and measuring is done by our 60 ton certified platform scale. Quality check is executed by high qualified staff of ours. For measuring and testing quality we use most up to date analysing equipment (x-ray, spectro-photometer).

We detect radioactivity by our special equipment measuring radiation. Handling, pre-processment and hauling is done by our own machinery and transport-vehicles. Beyond our environmental thinking and above the business opportunities we provide we are also keen on keeping strict environmental regulation, protecting our environment. At collection and selling we operate with „zero tolerance” limit, that means 100% of recycling of our scrap collected. By this practice we contribute to the substitution of constantly decreasing quantity of raw material available on earth.
