Harsco partnership will bring new technology to market

Camp Hill-based Harsco Corp., a company providing environmental solutions for industrial and specialty by-products, recently announced its Harsco Environmental division entered into a strategic relationship with Magsort Ltd. to bring metal recovery technology to the steel industry.
