The company grows exponentially

In late 1998, Reclam was established to form a market leader that would have the size and scope to create economies of scale and operating efficiencies in the South African recycled metal processing industry. Between 1998 and 2000, Reclam acquired a number of businesses involved in the production of recycled ferrous and non-ferrous metal products.

By 2000, Reclam achieved a leading position in the recycled ferrous and non-ferrous metals markets, expanding its operations by diversifying into other products that could benefit from similar economies of scale and operating efficiencies

In 2003, Reclam concluded its first Black Economic Empowerment (“BEE”) transaction pursuant to which 25% plus one share of the equity was sold to Phamangu Investment Holdings in a transaction partly funded by the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) of South Africa.
