SNRV is the heir to a long tradition of metal waste recovery and recycling in Algeria.
The National Recovery and Valorization Company (SNRV Spa), formerly the National Recovery Company (ENR), a subsidiary of the SNS Group (formerly IMETAL), is the national leader in waste recovery, treatment, and valorization in Algeria. Founded in 1966, SNRV has established itself as a strategic player in the circular economy and a key partner of major national industries (steel, metallurgy, energy, hydrocarbons, cement plants, and more). With over 50 years of experience, SNRV operates through 8 industrial units across the national territory and employs more than 1,000 qualified professionals. It is certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, and is investing in modernizing its equipment and processes through ERP and an Integrated Management System.
SNRV is the heir to a long tradition of scrap metal recovery and valorization in Algeria. Origins (before 1962) The recovery activity already existed in an artisanal form, then was organized after independence as a workers’ cooperative, before the official establishment of the company in 1966.
