Global Metal Solutions (GMS) provides world-class metal recycling services that help divert metal waste from landfill. ​

Working with corporate finance firm Tiaki Capital and Invest New Zealand, it’s recently secured a $5m investment – allowing it to diversify its revenue streams and fuel its offshore growth. ​

The private investor was identified through New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus Visa Programme. A significant operator within Malaysia’s recycling and waste management sector, they come with relevant experience and connections that will benefit the company beyond the capital injection.​

Kenneth Leong from Tiaki Capital says Global Metal Solution’s fast growth and impressive performance are testament to its high standards. ​

​ “GMS’s commitment to excellence not only benefits its clients but contributes positively to the community and the environment. We’re excited to see where this investment will take the company.” ​

​ Founded in 2011, Global Metal Solutions provides premium metal recycling services in New Zealand and overseas. It’s also working on new ways to dispose of lithium batteries. The company’s goal is not only to create a safer, cleaner future, but to support whānau and local communities with quality employment opportunities. ​

​ Good for people, good for business, and good for the planet. It’s one of many innovative Kiwi businesses raising the profile of Aotearoa on a global stage and delivering a positive economic impact to New Zealand. In fact, this latest investment is projected to directly contribute over $23.5m to the economy. ​

And the potential for global impact and growth is even more impressive. The metal recycling market was estimated at $217 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $368.7 billion by 2030 – and GMS is recognised as a global leader in the space. ​
