Your independent and proactive partner
Are you seeking a partner who identifies market opportunities and works with you to exploit them for the supply of your metal products? An independent partner who supplies both standard and custom-designed products? But who also manages the entire chain in terms of recycling?
Then Roba Metals is the independent and proactive partner for you. We always strive to maintain a long term relationship with our customers and we realise all too well that this must come from both sides. That's why you, the customer, are always central to Roba Metals.
Making the customer central to us means that we give advice openly and honestly. Identifying (cost) risks for you. And continually innovating in the field of products, technology and contract types. What's more, we are always seeking partners who can supplement our offer in terms of products, expertise or regional presence: for partnership or acquisition.
