Built to close the gap between the invoice and the ladle.
Recovered metal, engineered back to specification.

One works, one standard, nothing shipped on assumption.
Mars Metal Industries was founded in 2021 to do one thing properly: take recovered aluminium and copper and return them to a declared chemistry, so that the foundry or rod mill receiving the metal can charge it without re-blending. Scrap is bought at source, screened and segregated in our own yard, then remelted to a target composition under control.
The copper line runs the same way. Millberry, granules and transformer strip are graded on intake, and what we cast from them — ingot and 8 mm conductor rod — carries the same certificate as the aluminium.
“Secondary metal should be the first choice on the purchase order, not the fallback when primary runs short. That is only true if the chemistry is provable — so we prove it.”
I started Mars Metal Industries in 2021 after a decade on the buying side of the metal trade, where the same problem came up on every consignment: the grade on the invoice and the grade in the ladle were not reliably the same thing. Buyers absorbed that gap by over-dosing, re-blending, or simply paying for primary metal they did not need.
We built the works around closing that gap. Material is segregated before it is melted, the melt is held to a target rather than sorted toward one, and nothing is despatched against an assumption. It is an unglamorous way to run a foundry and it is the entire reason customers stay.
The same four rules on every consignment.
Melts are held to a declared target chemistry, so the ingot you charge is the ingot on the certificate.
Recovered aluminium returned to specification at a fraction of the energy of primary production.
Every load is XRF-graded on intake and every heat spectro-verified before casting.
Lot-tagged bundles, weighed on a calibrated scale, with the document set issued before dispatch.
