The recently founded Moldovan Employers Ferrous and Nonferrous Metals Recycling and Collection Association represents the interests of about 20 metal companies. It was registered with the Public Services Agency on July 7, 2020.

The Association was created to promote the interests of metal companies founded over 20 years ago by persons who during many years forged their business with the own forces, the association’s president Ion Drăniceru stated in a press briefing at IPN.

He signaled an alarming situation on the national metals market and an imminent danger faced not only by the business entities operating on this market, but also by the country. This is the reason why the companies decided to form an association and the Employers Association will also fight misinformation, including through the media.

Ion Drăniceru assured that all the companies that form part of the Association act in good faith, reside in Moldova and do not have bank accounts outside the country. The given segment provided jobs for at least 500 Moldovans.

Ten-fifteen more applications to join the Association have been submitted and will be considered at the next meeting of the Administration Board. “We are convinced that the Association will soon consist of 30-35 companies,” started Ion Drăniceru.
