SOCIETE LORRAINE DE REVALORISATION

What SOCIETE LORRAINE DE REVALORISATION does

SLR (Société Lorraine de Revalorisation) is a French family-owned industrial services firm founded more than 60 years ago and headquartered in Hauconcourt, in the Lorraine region of France. The company specializes in steel mill services and the recycling and valorization of industrial co-products, operating as a B2B service provider for major European steel producers including ArcelorMittal, Industeel (Saint-Gobain), Saarstahl, Stahlwerk Bous, and GMH Gruppe. SLR delivers services both in situ at customer steel mills and at its own ICPE-certified treatment sites, with an emphasis on long-term industrial partnerships rather than transactional sales. Its operations span France and Germany, supported by a network of wholly-owned subsidiaries and strategic partners.

The company's core offering comprises four interlocking service lines: siderurgical services (liquid slag extraction, scrap yard management, oxycutting, refractory installation); metal recycling using a proprietary Aerofall crusher that achieves cleaned metallic products grading over 95% metal content from both ordinary and alloy steels; valorization of fresh metallurgical slags for public works construction and industrial reuse; and specialized refractory installation and maintenance. Technical differentiation rests on the proprietary autogenous crusher (for scrap cleaning) and the Aerofall system (for steel enrichment), complemented by an in-house laboratory at the Longlaville site equipped with an ICP-AES spectrometer and radioactivity detector for grade-level metal sorting and quality control. The company also conducts research into industrial co-product valorization beyond traditional steel applications.

SLR generates revenue through customized B2B service contracts and per-tonnage recycling fees paid by industrial clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The business is operated through wholly-owned subsidiaries — SPS (logistics and yard management), SLR-OXYTEC (Industeel-site services), SLR-OXYTEC Chateauneuf (additional Industeel operation), SLR Refractaries (refractory fumisterie and valorization), and ALL'IN Transport (in-house transit platform) — and is complemented by mutual partnerships with SAB GmbH & Co. KG (Germany), SOREPRO (300,000+ tonnes/year processing), and RGA (eastern Germany). The company holds ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications and markets almost exclusively through direct enterprise relationships and reputation.

Core offering

SLR provides specialized steel industry services and industrial co-product recycling, delivered either in situ at client factories or at its own treatment facilities. Core offerings include liquid slag extraction, metal recycling using proprietary Autogenous and Aerofall crushers, refractory installation and maintenance, scrap yard management, oxycutting, and valorization of slag and industrial co-products into construction materials and inputs for metallurgy, refractory and cement industries. The company serves major European steel mills and foundries including ArcelorMittal, Industeel, Saint-Gobain, Saarstahl, Stahlwerk Bous, and GMH Gruppe.

Product overview

SLR (Société Lorraine de Revalorisation) operates as a unified platform of siderurgical and industrial co-product recycling services, not a modular software product. The core offering comprises siderurgical services, metal recycling, aggregate valorization, and refractory services. Key branded offerings include Prestations Sidérurgiques (in-situ and facility-based siderurgical services), Recyclage des Métaux (ferrous and non-ferrous recycling using Aerofall crusher), Valorisation de Granulats (slag valorization for construction), and Mise en Oeuvre des Réfractaires (refractory installation). These are supported by three subsidiaries: SPS (Steel Product Services) for logistics, SLR OXYTEC for oxycoupage services, and SLR Refractories for refractory work. Partners include SAB GmbH and SOREPRO, with RGA extending coverage to eastern Germany.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Cronimet Holding GmbH: German family-owned global metal recycling and trading group focused on stainless steel scrap and specialty alloys - directly comparable to SLR's Aerofall-enabled recovery of stainless and alloyed steels from slag.
• Stena Recycling AB: Swedish family-owned metal recycling and circular economy group operating across Northern Europe. Comparable in scrap metal processing, industrial co-product management, and family-business operating model.
• Befesa SA: Luxembourg/Frankfurt-listed environmental services company specializing in recycling of steel industry co-products (salt slags, steel dust, spent pot liners). Most direct European peer to SLR - same customer base (steel mills), same co-product valorization model, similar regulatory exposure.
• TSR Recycling GmbH & Co. KG: Largest metal recycler in Europe (formerly including Scholz), operating scrap collection, shredding, and processing for steelworks. Comparable customer base (integrated steel mills), comparable ferrous scrap processing activity, and pan-European footprint SLR aspires to.
• Metallo Group (Aurubis subsidiary): Belgian non-ferrous metal recycler producing refined tin, lead, and copper from industrial residues. Adjacent peer serving steel/foundry customers with similar co-product valorization approach and European footprint.
• Derichebourg SA: Major French family-controlled metal recycling and environmental services group operating scrap yards, shredders, and processing facilities across Europe. Overlaps with SLR's ferrous scrap processing, slag handling, and French industrial customer base.

Emerging players

• SARP-Industries: French industrial waste treatment specialist serving heavy industry including steel mills. Comparable in industrial co-product handling and French regulatory environment, though broader in waste streams than SLR's steel focus.

Broad incumbents

• LIBERTY Steel Group: Integrated European steelmaker (parent of Stahlwerk Bous, a SLR customer) producing through EAF and downstream processing. Listed as a customer peer illustrating vertical integration risk - i.e., the threat of insourcing co-product services.
• REMONDIS SE & Co. KG: One of Europe's largest privately-held recycling and environmental services groups. Broad incumbent with metal recycling, slag handling, and industrial services divisions that overlap with SLR's offerings at scale.

Regional players

• RGS Nordic A/S: Danish metal recycling group serving Northern European steel mills and foundries. Comparable scrap processing, slag handling, and industrial customer base, though focused on a different regional market than SLR.
