Expanding in Aabenraa

During the past months we have been working diligently at expanding our activities at Aabenraa Harbour.

As our task of demolishing and recycling the condemned power plant, Enstedværket, is nearing its end, more and more space is freed up for new industry. With a water depth of 18 meters the harbour is accessible for even the largest freighters and as the industrial harbour is well shielded from the city and the marina it is a desirable site for heavy industry.

As a part of our growth strategy we have expanded our commercial lease at Aabenraa Harbour with another 10.000 sqm in order to expand our sorting activities and establish new storage sites for steel and metal in close vicinity to the port.

New weighbridge – for everyone

At Rimeco we receive and ship off numerous trucks on a daily basis and access to swift and easy weighing is essential to our business – as well as to our many neighbouring businesses. As a consequence of this need, we have established a fully verified, automatic truck weighbridge at the entrance to our site at Aabenraa Harbour.

The weighbridge has a capacity of 80 tonnes and is able to service trucks up to 24 meters.

The weighbridge is built for self-servicing and is accessible for anyone with a need for weighing. Standard cargo price is DKK 4 per tonne. Please contact sgn@rimeco.dk if you are interested in being registered as a user of the weighbridge.

Lowering our impact

During this spring we have implemented a new sorting plant at Kolding Harbour in order to live up to the sharpened tolerance requirements of the steel mills. The plant sorts out dirt, insulation and nonmarketable metals prior to shipment and on average five percent of the weight is sorted out for processing at our granulation plant in Aabenraa.

It is our duty to lower our impact

Transport is a significant cost and represents a substantial environmental impact for our industry wherefore it is our duty to lower our need for transportation in any possible way. One way of ensuring this is to ship only clean materials and we are proud that we now do this successfully. Five percent may not seem as much, but in the end it all adds up.

Sustainability is high priority

At Rimeco we gladly accept the responsibility for ensuring that sustainability is among our highest priorities every day – not just when it comes to our end products, but also regarding our internal processes. We actively support the UN’s 17 goals for sustainable development, and we are constantly focused at optimizing sustainability in our processes as well as lowering the environmental impact of our activities.

Shipping handy-sized freighters

Despite the fact that the metal scrap business worldwide has been noticeable affected by the Covid-19 pandemic – both supply and demand has fluctuated severely – we experience a new tendency at Rimeco. We now load handy-sized freighters bound for more distant destinations at a higher frequency.

It is our positive experience that the demand for high quality Scandinavian steel and metal scrap is rising among customers located in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean and we are pleased to be able to deliver on that demand.
