HRMS GmbH
Hargreaves Raw Material Services GmbH (HRMS) was created in August 2006 to establish and develop the Hargreaves business in Europe.
HRMS is a key supplier of specialist raw materials to major customers in the steel, foundry, smelting, non-ferroalloy, sugar, limestone, insulation, refractory and ceramic industries.
HRMS has world wide expertise in raw material sourcing. This, combined with the Hargreaves Group’s expertise in port operations, material handling, storage operations and logistics, marketing and technical support, creates an ideal platform for the company to compete in the wider European market.
Specialist raw materials are sourced from, amongst others, China, Eastern Europe, South Africa, and North America.
Shipments of solid fuels can be combined with industrial/ refractory minerals, thus optimising logistics and reducing costs. Materials mainly arrive in the ARA ports (Amsterdam – Rotterdam – Antwerp) and are handled and distributed in accordance with customer requirements.
HRMS currently makes use of storage facilities at Immingham (UK), Rotterdam and Amsterdam (Netherlands), Ghent (Belgium) and Duisburg and Hamburg (Germany) as well as consignment storage within clients’ sites.
