Scrap Connection / Tradefox

To fix some big problems.Our founder, Chris Yerbey, has been in the recycling business for over 22 years. He started out brokering, and later traded internationally. Over the years, he and his partner built up a very successful business, but as revenue increased so did their exposure to financial risks. Fraud, contract cancellations, and losses in settlement of quality claims plague every honest buyer, seller and broker of scrap materials. With experience in platform based technology gained from his previous startup, he had a unique cross-industry perspective on how to solve the very problems he was experiencing as a trader. Motivated to use his knowledge to help others avoid these types of losses, Chris founded Scrap Connection in 2012.
