Normet Industries Nominees Pty. Ltd, trading as Norstar Steel Recyclers (Norstar) is Australia's largest privately owned scrap metal recycler. Norstar was established in 1952 in Reservoir, where it continues to operate a buying and recycling facility. All ferrous metals are transferred to the Laverton (head office) facility for processing. The Laverton operation is on a 40-acre site, where the company has a multi - million-dollar investment in plant and equipment. Norstar also operates a 8 acre site in Dandenong for buying and recycling of all ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

In 1987, Norstar established Nortrade International as part of its commitment to expand globally in a world that requires business to "act local but think global". From humble beginnings, Norstar processes in excess of 180,000 tonnes of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap annually.
