Hugo Neu Corporation

A recycling pioneer for more than 60 years, Hugo Neu Corporation is a privately owned firm that invests, builds and manages recycling, real estate, and related businesses. Hugo Neu and its affiliates'​ history in scrap metal recycling includes having processed most of the scrap metal from the World Trade Center after 9/11, having led the effort to revive curbside recycling in New York City in 2003, and becoming the largest exporter or recycled metal from the U.S. In 2005, Hugo Neu merged its recycling business with Sims Group, creating the largest recycling company in the world. Hugo Neu was Sims' largest shareholder until mid-2007, when most of its shares in Sims were sold to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Hugo Neu and Sims Group are now distinct and unrelated companies. Since 2009, Hugo Neu has been managing an electronic recycling business in Mt. Vernon, NY, providing institutions with a turnkey fully certified solution to their end-of-life electronics needs through its proprietary sorting and downstream recycling processing technology and a commitment to responsible recycling as exemplified by its e-Stewards certification, the highest standard in the industry. Hugo Neu has a global vision and invests its experience, skills, and resources in opportunities that support values of economic, social, and environmental sustainability. It strives to provide a unique culture for all its employees and stakeholders of creativity, progressive innovation and visionary thinking.
