Lowmac Alloys Limited was founded in 1974 and started trading as a scrap metal merchant in the old Ayr Foundry, Green Street, Ayr. In 1981 Alex Smith Metals bought over the Company and between the two Companies the first emergence of waste management began to enfold with the introduction of skip hire for household, commerce and industrial waste.

With the introduction of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the subsequent Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994 , Lowmac Alloys Ltd opened a new site in Irvine to facilitate the expanding growth in the environmental market.
