Everything we buy comes back out of the furnace as product. What follows is what leaves the yard, and how it is verified before it does.
The standard remelt format — sized to be handled, stacked and charged without special equipment. This is what most mills and foundries want on a pallet.
Large-format blocks for operations charging in volume, where fewer, heavier pieces beat a high piece count.
Small pig for fine control of a charge, and for buyers who need to add metal in increments rather than in blocks.
We are a secondary smelter, not a foundry — we pour metal for the people who cast and roll it, and we are straightforward about which of those we are.
Straightforward secondary metal for mills and foundries running a known charge — copper, brass and bronze, aluminum, lead and ferrous.
Blended to a customer’s written specification rather than to a catalogue grade. Send the spec before the order; it decides the furnace and the charge sequence.
Nickel and cobalt-based material recovered from turbine sections, downhole tooling and defense articles. Small volumes, and worth asking about rather than assuming.
Analysis is run by a third-party lab. A seller certifying their own chemistry is not a certification, and we would rather hand you a document from a party with nothing at stake.
Weights come off certified scales, and the ticket goes with the load. This is the one thing we certify ourselves, because it is the one thing we are equipped to.
Because we buy the whole asset and melt it ourselves, we can usually tell you what a heat came out of — a substation, a turbine deck, a production line. Few secondary suppliers can answer that.
Secondary metal is the same element as primary, without the ore. For most charges the only questions that matter are chemistry and consistency, and both are answerable.
Our feed comes from our own recovery work rather than from bidding against other buyers on an open pile, which makes availability steadier than a purely traded position.
Removal, transport, melt and delivery sit under one roof. If a load is late you are calling the people who loaded it, not a broker who will call someone else.
