United States – US firm MadDog Technology has acquired a 50% equity stake in The Scrap Post, a leading online marketplace for scrap dealers, brokers and consumers. The new partnership is to bid to ‘revolutionise’ the US$ 145 billion scrap industry through technology innovation and ‘unparalleled’ customer value.

Terms of the deal have not been disclosed but all of The Scrap Post’s employees will be retained.
