SA Metal is a proudly South African company and has a long tradition of trading in most Southern African countries including Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, Mozambique, Lesotho, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe... SA Metal Group is South Africa's oldest and largest metal recycling company. For the last century, the Group has purchased, collected, processed and recycled all forms of ferrous metals (iron and steel) and non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper, zinc, stainless steel, lead, nickel, brass, tin, bronze and others)... The SA Metal and Machinery Company is founded by Wolfe Barnett (1886-1946) in Woodstock, Cape Town. At first, SA Metal's main business is buying up used machinery and breaking it up for spares.
