How a load moves through our yard

From dock to settlement in four steps.

1

Receive and weigh

Every lot is weighed on arrival and photographed. You get a receiving number the same day.

2

Sort and grade

Trained inspectors separate grades by spark test and handheld XRF analysis, so mixed loads are paid by what they actually contain.

3

Settlement report

A written breakdown by grade and net weight, sent for your approval before anything is finalized.

4

Payment

Paid promptly after approval. Material then moves to processing or into a container for export.

Why suppliers stay with us

Straight grading, competitive pricing, and the balance sheet to pay for it.

  • Customer first

    One point of contact from quote to payment. Questions about a settlement get answered, not deflected.

  • Skilled team

    Inspectors who know the difference between an M42 and an M2 by eye, then confirm it with the instrument.

  • Competitive pricing

    Prices tracked daily against the market. For loads over 2,000 lb we quote individually.

  • Financial strength

    We pay from our own funds, on our own terms, without waiting for downstream buyers.

  • Sustainability

    Recovered tungsten, cobalt and alloy steel go back into tooling instead of landfill.
