Sims is buying 18 per cent of Chiho-Tiande, which has operations in both China and Hong Kong, mostly from interests associated with the founder and chairman, Mr Ankong Fang, as well as acquiring an option over a further 2 per cent of the Hong Kong company's capital.

Chiho-Tiande claims to be the largest mixed metal scrap importer and processor in China and Sims has been a large supplier of material to the company for some time.
