Our vision is to make the world’s steel fully utilised, thus contributing to a sustainable future. We fulfil our vision by creating efficient solutions for steel and scrap.

Norex’s Trade Division expands the life span of the steel by maximising the utilization of secondary steel.

Norex’s Service Division optimises scrap-related processes, thus contributing to a more sustainable steel production.

Non-prime, secondary, second grade, defective, and scrap are all terms used for by-products from the steel-making process. By-products that are both usable and valuable.

During the steelmaking process certain production issues inevitably arise, although much of what is labelled non-prime steel might only have been cut or formed into slightly nonstandard dimensions, be surplus production or out of tolerance, have roll marks, weight deviations or handling damage. It is often in such good condition that it is perfectly suitable for the manufacturing of steel products.

Steel is 100 per cent recyclable and, non-prime steel is often smelted and reused. Although smelting and reforming steel is cheaper than the original production process, it still results in significant energy use and carbon dioxide emissions. In response, Norex helps steel mills reduce their carbon footprint and offers manufacturers significant cost savings.
