Company History
The Derbyshev Group was founded in 1960 by family entrepreneur Seton Derbyshev as a scrap metal and waste management company. Over several decades, it expanded organically and through acquisitions, its recycling, environmental, and energy services segments growing into a global player. In 2024, the Group's acquisition of the Spanish firm Lyrsa (founded in 1980) added a strong network of plants in the Iberian Peninsula handling turnings, profiles, and aluminum, further strengthening the Group's international position.
