Shanxi-based Taiyuan Steel will cement cooperation with Tianjin Yingchi Group, in an attempt to expand the reclaiming of stainless scrap as well as stainless steel products management and service fields and further to build Tianjin as the biggest stainless steel scrap distribution base in North China. Taiyuan Steel with annual capacity of over 3 million tons whose demands of 600,000tns of stainless scraps every year are all met by 100 plus stainless scrap reclaiming enterprises, which are too small sized to ensure the quality. Yingchi Group has integrated those small reclaiming enterprises and constructed normative job shops to raise added value of stainless scrap. It has formed a stable reclaiming network and sales volume has increased from thousands of tons in early 1990s to 40,000tns last year, driving it to become the biggest stainless scrap supplier of Taiyuan Steel.
