Capacity, sites, and services after the deal

SRG gains two South Carolina sites: Duncan and Gaffney. Duncan adds a copper and aluminum wire chopping line. Gaffney offers vehicle pick-and-pull services. Meanwhile, SRG already operates Spartanburg plus two North Carolina locations. The enlarged footprint improves routing, scale economics, and material upgrading. It also broadens nonferrous recovery and finished package optionality.

Leadership continuity and strategic fit

Sisk’s Travis Knight, with Eric and Jordan Knight, will remain in leadership roles. Continuity should protect supplier ties and local sourcing. The platform stems from Carolina Metals Group and Spartan Recycling Group. Consequently, the combination deepens SRG’s Carolinas network density. It also enhances service to foundries, mills, and exporters seeking consistent grades.

The Metalnomist Commentary

PE-style roll-ups in scrap thrive on route density and yield optimization. Watch SRG leverage wire chopping and pull-and-pick flows to upgrade margins. Local leadership retention should accelerate integration while protecting yard-level buy patterns.
