Today we apply our knowledge as a secondary smelter to effect solutions for our customers with cost-effective units of scrap metal, briquetted material, and Riverloy pucks. As technology has changed this past century, we have adapted our processes to better serve our consumers. We always provide excellent service and high quality products, and strive to exceed our customers' expectations.

Our Mission is to promptly deliver high quality recycled materials at competitive prices to our valued customers.
