AEIFOROS S.A. was established in 2001 by SIDENOR S.A. initially for the recycling of steel manufacturing by-products, and expanded since then in the processing of other types of industrial by-products and wastes.
AEIFOROS S.A. processes a large range of steel manufacturing and metal processing by-products, recycling over 450,000 tons annually. The company operates two production plants in Greece, one located in Almyros with privately-owned port facilities, and one in Thessaloniki. In 2004 AEIFOROS established a subsidiary company in Bulgaria named AEIFOROS BULGARIA S.A. involved in similar activities.
