Singapore, July 24, 2026 – BR Metals Pte. Ltd is aware of a series of Facebook posts published by an individual known as “Siwat”, including a subsequent post on 22 July claiming that he had been “threatened.”
We issue this statement to set out the facts and to reassure our customers, business partners and other stakeholders.
BR Metals Categorically Denies All Allegations
BR Metals categorically rejects every allegation made in the Facebook posts. Among other things, the posts falsely allege or imply that BR Metals:
– uses hazardous chemicals in its operations in Thailand
– causes environmental pollution affecting nearby communities
– is engaged in unlawful activities;
– is involved in money laundering or other criminal conduct; and
– presents compliance or responsible sourcing risks to customers and business partners.
These allegations are false, misleading and entirely without factual basis.
Official Investigation by Thai Authorities
Following complaints made by members of the public, the relevant Thai authorities, including the Thai Police, conducted inspections and investigations of the facility on 14 July 2026 as referred to in the posts.
The authorities concluded that no wrongdoing had occurred.
BR Metals and its Thai business partner were cleared following those investigations.
We are in possession of official documentation confirming these findings.
Clarification of Our Operations
1. BR Metals does not own or operate the processing facility referred to in the posts.
2. Our role in Thailand is limited to providing consultancy, valuation and technical advisory services relating to the spent catalytic converter recycling business.
3. The facility performs only the mechanical processing of spent catalytic converter ceramic substrates through crushing, grinding and homogenisation before shipment for downstream refining.
4. No hazardous chemical processing is used in these operations.
Response to the 22 July Facebook Post
In a subsequent Facebook post published on 22 July, the author claimed that he had been “threatened.”
BR Metals categorically denies this allegation. Neither BR Metals nor any of its directors, employees or representatives has threatened the individual in any manner.
What BR Metals has done is exercise its lawful right to protect its reputation against false and defamatory allegations.
We have engaged independent legal counsel in Singapore and Thailand to advise us on the appropriate legal steps available. Any communications issued by or on behalf of our lawyers are part of a lawful legal process and should not be characterised as threats.
Commitment to Transparency
BR Metals has always conducted its business with integrity, transparency and respect for the rule of law in all the markets we operate in.
We recognise the importance of maintaining the confidence of our customers, suppliers, refinery partners and stakeholders.
Accordingly, we are prepared to provide supporting evidence, where appropriate, including:
– official documentation issued by the Thai authorities confirming that no wrongdoing was found;
– technical information explaining the actual operations carried out at the Thai facility;
– documentation demonstrating that hazardous chemicals are not used in the processing activities referred to in the posts; and
– other evidence refuting the allegations that have been circulated.
This information is available upon reasonable request.
Legal Action
Given the seriousness of the false allegations and the damage caused to BR Metals’ reputation and commercial relationships, we have instructed legal counsel in Singapore and Thailand to pursue all appropriate legal remedies available to us.
Our objective is to protect the reputation of BR Metals, safeguard the interests of our customers and business partners, and ensure that false information is addressed through the proper legal process.
Our Commitment to Our Stakeholders
We thank our customers, suppliers, refinery partners and industry colleagues for their
continued trust and support.
BR Metals remains committed to the highest standards of environmental responsibility,
regulatory compliance, ethical business conduct and responsible sourcing.
