DALLAS, NC – Southeast Recycling Group (SRG), a Dallas, North Carolina-based metals recycling firm, announced it will acquire Sisk Scrap Recycling, a longtime South Carolina processor with facilities in Duncan and Gaffney. The deal is expected to close by the end of September, according to Recycling Today.
Expanding Along the I-85 Corridor
Once finalized, SRG will operate five recycling locations: the two from Sisk, plus existing facilities in Dallas and Grover, North Carolina, and Spartanburg, South Carolina. Executives said the acquisition strengthens SRG’s reach along the Interstate 85 corridor, a critical hub for scrap metal processing and industrial markets, the report noted.
The move will expand SRG’s workforce to about 150 employees and increase annual processing capacity to more than 175,000 tons of ferrous scrap and 75,000 tons of nonferrous scrap.
A Historic South Carolina Recycling Business
Founded in 1947 by Ed M. Sisk, Sisk Scrap Recycling has been a family-owned operation for nearly eight decades. Today, it is led by Travis, Eric, and Jordan Knight, third- and fourth-generation descendants of the founder.
Reflecting on the sale, Travis Knight, president of Sisk, said:
“Letting go of Sisk Recycling after so many years was not an easy decision, but we found the right partners to continue our family’s journey in the scrap metal business.”
SRG’s Growth Strategy
SRG was created in early 2025 through the merger of Carolina Metals Group and Spartan Recycling Group, bringing together owners with more than three decades of industry experience, according to Recycling Today.
CEO Paul Siegel praised the acquisition as a strong cultural and geographic fit:
“We are interested in growing our business and the acquisition of Sisk is a great fit with their strategic locations and family culture. We can really appreciate their sustained success over a very long period of time.”
Looking Ahead
Analysts say acquisitions like this reflect ongoing consolidation trends across the metals recycling sector, as companies seek stronger regional positioning and efficiencies. For SRG, the addition of Sisk not only broadens its footprint but also embeds the company deeper into South Carolina’s industrial and manufacturing supply chains.
