What we do
A blending program built around complex scrap.
Complex streams in
Off-spec grades, mixed lots and off-grade refractory units — the material that is hard to place as it stands.
Blended to the melt
Tailored blends for refiners, alloy producers and the stainless-steel sector, built to preserve nickel value.
More recovered, less downgraded
Maximising recoverable metal content and reducing downgrading.
