COMPANY HISTORY

History

Spring Resources Ltd was founded in 1991 by Roy Woolcock, a former long-standing employee of Harris Waste Management Group, a US based world leader in the supply of scrap metal processing equipment.

Formed as a spare parts, service and machinery refurbishment operation, Spring Resources' early contracts included the procurement and full refurbishment of a metal baling press for a client in South Africa, followed by further substantial contracts both in the UK and overseas. rehvid

From its inception the company has been a distributor for Seram equilibrated cranes, designed specifically for handling of scrap and other bulk materials. These machines have been sold in the UK and in Japan, the Middle East and Far East, as well as Australasia. granite countertops cleaning products

Spring Resources' presence in the recycling market place was enhanced in 1996 with the acquisition of the franchise to sell a range of paper and board balers manufactured in the United States by Excel Manufacturing Co. This range was quickly established in the UK as a high quality competitor to existing machines, and sales have been facilitated by the products' high manufacturing quality and high output, complemented by our total commitment to after sales service and support. We presently stock in excess of £1/4M of spares for the Excel range and for the US Wire Tie strapper used by Excel, and our engineers have been baler factory trained at Excel, US Wire Tie and Cranston. colleges that specialize in psychology

1998 saw the acquisition of Metpro Machinery Ltd, a company with a 30 year track record in the metal recycling business. Its machinery ranges from heavy duty fragmentisers to ingot casting machines and tyre cutters and the company has successfully installed machines around the world.

The acquisition of Metpro has given Spring a strong manufacturing base in the UK, an important factor in servicing the many and varied needs of its customers both present and future.

 
Spring Resources also has two important franchises. One to sell the World-leading Imabe range of recycling and waste processing machinery and the other to sell the Multitek range of wheel crushers and fuelwood processors. 

Spring Resources Today

Spring Resources now has a total of 75 employees in two key locations:- Swindon and Bridgend, South Wales where Metpro is based on two sites. These house Metpro's entire operation including sales, manufacturing, engineering and spares support operations, with sufficient machinery and lifting capacity to cope with even the largest processing equipment. The acquisition of Metpro and its incorporation into Spring Resources Ltd as Metpro Resources augmented staff levels by some 26 personnel.

Our head office is located in Swindon and houses the company's sales, service and finance departments together with spare parts and machinery maintenance departments and a small machinery demonstration area adjacent to the UK's motorway network. Some £2 Million worth of spare parts are dispatched from Swindon annually.

Spring Resources has built an enviable reputation and is now recognised throughout the industry as the leading source of supply for equipment ranging from ingot casting machines and fragmentisers to paper balers and cranes, with a service operation acknowledged as second-to-none.

When sourcing processing and handling equipment or parts and service, more companies, right across the recycling industry, are viewing Spring Resources as 'preferred suppliers'.
