Scholz Recycling adds two board members

Essingen, Germany-based Scholz Group, which bills itself as one of the largest recycling companies of ferrous and nonferrous scrap worldwide, has announced the appointment of two new board members of its Scholz Recycling GmbH subsidiary.

Kian Guan Goh has been appointed as a board member of Scholz Recycling with immediate effect. Goh also will assume the position of chief investment officer (CIO), responsible for the investment activities of Scholz Group and for aligning the growth strategy of Scholz and its parent company, Hong Kong-based Chiho Environmental Group (CEG).

Goh is currently CIO and vice president of CEG and a board member of Scholz Holding GmbH. He will continue to hold those current positions in addition to his new role at Scholz Recycling.

Also starting Aug. 1, 2017, Mike Greulich has been appointed as a board member of Scholz Recycling. Greulich will assume the position of chief trading officer (CTO), responsible for “key accounts of Scholz Group across the globe,” according to the company.

Greulich also will be responsible for creating synergies within CEG Group. He is currently the CEO of Scholz’s United States subsidiary, Liberty Iron & Metal Holdings Inc. (LIMH). “Through his leadership and the hard work of the U.S. team, the U.S. has successfully demonstrated a swift turnaround,” states Scholz Group in a press release.

Greulich has been with Scholz Group for more than 20 years, holding various positions including the following: board member of Scholz Recycling AG & Co. KG; global head of nonferrous; managing director of Scholz International; and global head of global trading. He will resign as the CEO of LIMH in late September 2017 but will continue as a director on LIMH’s Management Board.

“We are pleased to welcome Mr. Goh and Mr. Greulich onto the board of Scholz Recycling,” says Henry Qin, CEO of Scholz Recycling GmbH. “Their new positions and responsibilities are key to our growth strategy, which includes selective acquisitions and organic growth through an increase in trade volumes across our global value chain.”

Scholz has a scrap recycling presence in Germany, Poland, Austria, the Balkans, the Czech Republic, Denmark, the U.S. and Mexico.
