What we do
We supply the pure metals, nickel-based master alloys, ferroalloys and industrial minerals needed by companies working in the steel, foundry, aerospace, energy and chemical industries. The buyer picks an item from the catalogue or writes their own specification; we find a suitable producer, settle price and lead time, and deliver the material together with its certificate of analysis.
The buyer deals with one company only. Price negotiation, the sample process, production follow-up, shipping and customs formalities all run through us; the contract and the invoice are with SourcinoMatch.
Our mission
To make metallurgical raw material sourcing simple enough that it no longer eats into the time a manufacturer spends on its own work. To get a specification to the right producer, to bring back price and lead time in clear terms, and to prove with documents that every lot delivered conforms to the specification.
While doing so, protecting both the buyer's commercial information and the producer's identity is part of the job. The two sides work without knowing each other's name, with the contract in between held by us.
Our vision
To be the first address manufacturers turn to for special metal and alloy sourcing. To build an operation that can quote price and lead time within days even on rare items, that holds to the specification it gives, and that makes the supply chain predictable.
In the longer term our aim is to hold stock of frequently used items so that lead times fall from weeks to days, and buyers can plan production around their own calendar rather than around raw material availability.
How we work
- A single counterparty
- You never negotiate with the producer. Price, samples, production and shipping all run through us under one contract and one invoice. You make no direct payment abroad and carry no cross-border payment risk.
- Verified producers
- Every producer we work with has its business registration and production authorisation checked against official records, and its production facility inspected. Whether the company is a producer or an intermediary is placed on record.
- Lot-by-lot analysis
- Every shipment arrives with a certificate of analysis (COA). Where required, an EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificate is issued. On request, sample testing is arranged at an independent laboratory before loading.
- Transparent specifications
- The impurity limits shown in the catalogue are the requested target values and are confirmed before order acceptance. We never present an unconfirmed figure as if it were settled.
Who we work with
Our customers are mainly companies manufacturing in the following fields:
- Stainless and special steel producers
- Iron and steel foundries, investment casting plants
- Companies making parts for the aerospace and defence industries
- Manufacturers of energy equipment and high-temperature components
- Chemical industry and refractory material producers
