Somebody wants what is sitting in your yard.

Automotive & Manufacturing

Grading decides everything here. A load described as clean copper wire and delivered as mixed scrap is a different price, so the grade is agreed and inspection arranged before either side commits.

We know which refiners are short of what you are holding and which mills need material this month. We hold the terms between them, and we stay on it until the deal settles.

What we source
Scrap metal, offcuts and factory waste from yards, contractors and manufacturers.
Who we supply
Foundries, mills and refiners after graded copper and aluminium, alloy stock, vehicles, equipment and genuine parts.

What we handle.

Each line runs both ways — placed for sellers, sourced for buyers. The metals are underneath.

Base metals
Placed and sourced against a grade agreed up front, so there are no surprises at delivery.

  • 6063
Recycling
Matched to the processors and refiners that want them, with the paperwork agreed before collection.

Who we are

  • Grade agreed and independently inspected before money moves, not after.
  • Your load matched to a buyer who actually wants that specification, not to whoever answers first.
  • We know which processors can take material in the form it is already in.

What sets us apart

  • Grade and inspection method fixed in the contract, mixed material priced up front rather than discounted later.
  • Weight, grade and lot number written in as seller obligations, provable on arrival.
  • Collection and freight arranged, so idle stock stops occupying space you pay for.
  • One team on both sides, so a load placed and a load sourced settle against the same relationship.

Looking ahead

  • More refiners, so cable and mixed loads have more than one home.
  • Published grade-by-grade acceptance criteria, so sellers can sort before they load.
  • Routes that make small and mixed loads worth moving for both sides.
  • A wider alloy range as extrusion and casting buyers ask for it.

How an order runs.

Three steps, whichever way the goods are moving.

  1. 01

    What you need, and what it is worth

    Volume, specification and date. We come back with a price against that, not a range.

  2. 02

    Counterparty, terms and route

    We find the other side and fix the grade, terms and route in writing. Landed cost is known before anything moves.

  3. 03

    Shipped, inspected and documented

    We arrange freight and independent inspection, and stay on it until the paperwork matches the contract.

A partner in both directions

For yards and factories, we find the buyer and get the grade and payment date agreed before anything leaves your site.

For foundries and mills, we know who is holding your specification right now.
