Rob Nansink coordinates international trading of non-ferrous metals at Interseroh / Restructuring of INTERSEROH Scrap and Metals Holding GmbH management complete

Listed environmental service and raw materials provider INTERSEROH SE has completed the restructuring of the management for the holding company for its steel and metals recycling segment: Rob Nansink (48), a proven specialist in the international trade of non-ferrous metals, will start his role as managing director of INTERSEROH Scrap and Metals Holding GmbH with immediate effect.

"Rob Nansink has been working in the international trading of non-ferrous metals for more than two decades," explains Joachim Wagner, INTERSEROH SE director for the steel and metals recycling segment. "He will be responsible with immediate effect for marketing non-ferrous metals for the whole Interseroh Group." In addition to Nansink, the other managing directors are Markus M. Barg, who is responsible for ferrous scrap, Michael Meißner, who in particular covers commercial activities, and Bernd Ott who is responsible for investment and systems engineering. Joachim Wagner will in future focus on his role as member of the Board of Directors responsible for the strategic direction of the whole segment.

Dutchman Rob Nansink has traded non-ferrous metals internationally since the late 1980s. This is how Europe Metals B.V., which later became an Interseroh holding, turned into one of the leading exporters of scrap metal from Europe to Asia. Rob Nansink: "I am delighted about the new challenge. The trading of non-ferrous metals is gaining importance because there are ever more shortages of raw materials around the world. That is why it is particularly attractive for me to be actively involved in developing this division at Interseroh.”

Changes to the national structure

At the national level too there have been changes in the steel and metals recycling segment at Interseroh since November 1, 2010: Markus Karberg (40), to date managing director of subsidiary INTERSEROH Jade-Stahl GmbH in Wilhelmshaven, is giving up his post and taking on responsibility for regional management east in the steel and metals recycling segment. In addition, he has also been appointed managing director for INTERSEROH Metallaufbereitung Rostock GmbH and INTERSEROH Berlin GmbH.

Interseroh operates around 110 locations in the steel and metals recycling segment in Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, China and the US. In 2009 these companies handled around 2.7 million tonnes of scrap steel and metal. This makes Interseroh one of the top 3 German scrap processors. In Europe Interseroh is number one when it comes to processing and trading non-ferrous metals.
