Our team of global professionals are always eager and ready to provide best services to our customers, suppliers and business partners. We started Esteem Auto.Com in 2003 as a consumer, importing ferrous and non-ferrous scraps from all around the world. Since then we started recycling/processing yard and trading scraps to other manufacturers in India. As a consumer we know first-hand how important quality input is to final products. We buy from the vendors personally vetted by us and provide the products as per different specifications to meet our customer needs. As our commitment to better environment, we use over 80% recycled materials and 65% of our energy needs from our 1MW solar farm and 2.1MW windmill. #Environment #GreenPower #CircularEconomy
