GFG Alliance, a United Kingdom-based conglomerate that owns Liberty Metals, has named Grant Quasha its chief investment officer in the United States. Quasha will be responsible for overseeing the company’s investment strategy in the U.S., according to a GFG Alliance news release.

The move comes ahead of GFG’s planned reopening of the former ArcelorMittal wire rod steel plant in Georgetown, South Carolina, which the company says represents the start of its expansion plans into the metals, mining, energy and financial services sectors in the United States. In March 2018, GFG Alliance purchased Tampa, Florida-based recycling firm Export Metals.

Quasha previously worked as CEO and managing director of Paringa Resources Ltd., an Indiana-based mining company. In the metals sector, he gained experience through his roles as North American manager of corporate and structured finance at Trafigura AG, a commodity trading firm.

“GFG’s global growth has been truly impressive and I’m very excited by the prospect of taking the group’s vision and ground-breaking business model into North America where there are huge growth opportunities in the metals, mining, energy and financial services sectors,” says Quasha. “Building upon initial investments in Georgetown and Tampa, I’m looking forward to leading the group toward further interesting projects that will make a huge positive impact here.”
