Founded in 1937 in Amsterdam under the name “Roba Metallurgische Handelsmaatschappij” by Robert Baruch and Willy Cohn, Roba originally limited its activities to trading and processing metal waste. In 1948, Roba began trading in semi-finished steel products. When the company outgrew its premises in Amsterdam in the 1960s, it was relocated to a site in IJsselstein. Nowadays, Roba Metals is fully part of the Roba Group. Recycling It all started in 1937 when Roba began recycling non-ferrous metals. Ever since, the Recycling department has broadened its expertise more and more in the areas of aluminium, copper, zinc and nickel processing. As a rule, Roba carries out both storage and treatment in-house. Additionally, the quality standard for the metal waste is determined in Roba’s own modern laboratory.
