First Analysis private equity companies

Below are some of the companies we are helping to build currently and others we have helped build in the past.

National Recovery Systems Inc.

National Recovery Systems Inc. specialized in blending, agglomerating, and recycling waste materials and by-products for heavy industry. NRS used its proprietary binder technology to manufacture a briquette, composed primarily of steel-mill waste, that is suitable for recharging back into the steel-making process. The company owned and operated National Briquette Corp., which processed blended and packaged products and high-volume by-products for both integrated and mini-mills. The company also owned and operated on-site waste-recycling/agglomerating facilities at three integrated steel mills in East Chicago, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. Brambles Industries acquired NRS in 2000.
