Activities
Trading
In Europe and worldwide
Our core business is trading ferrous and non-ferrous metals internationally, particularly in the European market. We also process special alloys and electronic products.
Our customers include the largest European – and global – producers of finished and semi-finished goods.
Over 30 years, we have acquired total expertise in each of our customer’s products, the requirements of their sector and markets, and their technical specifications.
We make it our business to anticipate our customers’ technological developments and any constraints that might influence the choice of a metal and how it is conditioned. This enables us to determine where to process a particular material even before purchase.
Moreover, as we are in constant contact with our suppliers, we are able to immediately advise customers about the level of stocks and the availability of materials.
Plant
A processing capacity of 40,000 tonnes
In addition to buying and selling metals, we also have a materials processing plant where we sort, press, process and transform raw materials so they can be utilized in transformers and foundries.
Logistics
30 years of expertise
We can deliver anywhere in the world by tipper truck, trailer truck or container ship. We have over 30 years of experience in transport logistics, insurance and customs in Europe and around the world.
