A competitive edge:

How one aluminum producer secured long-term pre-consumer scrap supply

Our customer is one of the largest aluminum producers globally, with operations spanning over 40 countries. The company's product portfolio includes primary aluminum, rolled aluminum products, and other products and solutions that are used in a wide range of industries, such as building and construction, packaging, transportation, and renewable energy.

The company is committed to sustainability and has set ambitious goals for reducing its carbon footprint and improving energy efficiency in its operations. The enterprise is divided into seven divisions and we started collaborating with the extrusion division, which produces and sells extruded aluminum products, such as profiles and tubes, for various industries and applications.

Challenge

Securing a reliable and consistent supply

The company is at the forefront of the aluminum industry, constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation and sustainability. As they expand their production capacities and open a new production facility soon, they need a constant and clean supply of mill finished material from pre-consumer metal scrap directly from industrial production sites. To secure a long-term supply, the company turned to Metaloop for a solution.

Solution

Wider reach and better access to pre-consumer metal scrap supply

Our platform offered wider reach and better access to pre-consumer metal scrap supply from the industrial production site. Metaloop's team onboarded new specialized production companies on the platform who were producing extrusions to match our customer’s demand. By shortening the supply chain and bringing the production site directly into business with our customer, we ensured constant quality without claims.

Impact

Constant high quality supply, unlocking higher volumes, and meeting sustainability goals

The impact of this collaboration was a constant supply of high-quality mill finished products with zero claims, unlocking the flywheel to source and lock in high volumes of the desired material with one of the main aluminum producers. All this while meeting the sustainability goals.
