Family Company Casier Recycling


Recycling for more than 1 century

Precisely in the year 1900  Charles and Gerard Casier started inZwevegem with the collection and processing of textile waste. The immediate vicinity of an important metal industry was an excellent opportunity to become active in the world of ferrous recycling .  A very succesful decision, so it seemed quickly.  The company, under the guidance ofCharles 2 and his son Henri Casier (+2007) moved to Deerlijk in 1957 .  A strategically well-thought-out location, also thanks to the direct railway connection.  Meanwhile the fourth and fifth generations are in charge of this flourishing family company.
