Nth Cycle, the innovative metal processing and recycling technology company, announced today that renowned commodities analyst and President of the Commodity Research Group, Edward Meir will join its board of directors. Meir brings more than 35 years of experience in the commodities and metals industries to Nth Cycle and will help guide the company’s strategy as it expands its metal processing operations across North America.   

“Edward Meir has an unparalleled ability to see the big picture in trends in commodities markets,” said Nth Cycle CEO Megan O’Connor. “With Ed joining Nth Cycle’s board of directors we’re now the beneficiary of decades of market experience and have gained a powerful ally in helping to  shape the future of the critical mineral supply chain.”  

Meir began his career as a commodities analyst with Drexel Burnham Lambert leading the firm's research on sugar, coffee, and cocoa before he was recruited by Trans World Metals to trade aluminum, tin, and steel. Meir founded his own metals consultancy, Commodities Research Group, in 1993. His agency has led research on precious and base metals for a number of leading firms including MF Global, StoneX, and ED&F Man Capital. Fastmarkets awarded Meir its highest ranking for the most accurate forecaster in the LME metals in five of the last ten years and he attained a top five ranking in precious metals in four of the past six years.  

“The metal markets have changed a lot over the past few decades,” said Meir. “It was clear to me that recovered metals and minerals are poised to become a major input to the energy supply chains and Nth Cycle is well positioned to be the leader in this sector, which is why I am excited to be associated with this venture.”
