Our History

Reimasa was founded in 1994 as a company dedicated to the service and supply of scrap metal and raw materials, when Altos Hornos de Vizcaya transitioned from blast furnaces to an electric arc furnace, known as ACB (Acería Compacta de Bizkaia), which is now owned by AcerlorMittal. Since our beginnings, we have been committed to a close loop economy and sustainability.

Today, GESCRAP is present in more than 18 countries on 4 continents and manages more than 2 million tonnes of raw materials.

Throughout history, we have ventured into various markets, such as the Soviet Union, Africa and the Caribbean. The growth of automotive manufacturers led us to position ourselves as a global management and services leader for the automotive industry.

In December 2022, Gestamp Automoción became a shareholder in GESCRAP, consolidating our commitment to decarbonisation, circularity, and sustainability by reducing our carbon footprint.

Sectors we work with

GESCRAP provides services to a wide range of industrial sectors that generate metal waste as part of their manufacturing process. These include OEMs, stamping facilities, Tier1 and Tier2, Service Centres, Machining Centres, packaging, tube and structure manufacturers, also the wind, rail, and white goods sectors.

In addition, GESCRAP is consolidating its presence in the management of end-of-life waste, seeking its revaluation through the recovery of all materials to achieve the goal of zero waste.

Since its origins, GESCRAP has stood out for offering a tailor-made service to the automotive sector, becoming a benchmark. However, we have also developed innovative solutions for a wide variety of industries in other sectors, applying our extensive knowledge and experience.

In short, we are a company dedicated to improving the logistics management of metal waste in any production process, providing comprehensive and sustainable solutions for our clients.
