Overseas sourcing
Sourcing aluminium scrap and ingots from established suppliers across Asia, Africa, North America and Australia, with verification against the contracted grade before material is shipped.
Metal trade
Aluminium scrap and alloy ingots, precisely specified.
We import primarily aluminium — from ISRI-coded scrap grades through to internationally recognised alloy ingot specifications — sourcing from suppliers across Asia, Africa, North America and Australia and supplying Indian smelters, foundries and mills through Mumbai and Kolkata.
Core commodity
Why we specialise in aluminium
Aluminium is one of the most actively recycled and internationally traded metals in the world, and the grading language around it — the ISRI Scrap Specifications Circular — is well understood by yards, traders and smelters on every continent.
That shared vocabulary is what makes clean cross-border trade possible. When a contract says Taint/Tabor or ADC12, both sides know exactly what should arrive. Our job is making sure it does — which is why material is inspected and segregated at our own warehouse on arrival rather than passed on against a packing list.
Aluminium scrap
ISRI-graded scrap we import
These are the ISRI code names used internationally for aluminium scrap. We handle enquiries across the grades below.
| ISRI code | Material description | Typical form |
|---|---|---|
| Taint / Tabor | Clean mixed old alloy sheet aluminium | Loose, baled |
| Taboo | Mixed low copper aluminium clippings and solids | Loose, baled |
| Tale | Painted siding | Baled |
| Tense | Mixed aluminium castings | Loose |
| Troma | Aluminium auto or truck wheels | Loose |
| Trump | Aluminium auto castings | Loose |
| Talk | Aluminium copper radiators | Loose, baled |
| Tally | All-aluminium radiators from automobiles | Loose, baled |
| Talon | E.C. aluminium wire and cable | Loose, baled |
| Tata | New production aluminium extrusions | Loose, bundled |
| Tutu | Aluminium extrusions, dealer grade | Loose, bundled |
| Tread | Segregated new aluminium castings, forgings and extrusions | Loose |
| Tough | Mixed new aluminium alloy clippings and solids | Loose, baled |
| Taldon | Baled aluminium used beverage can (UBC) scrap | Baled |
| Talcred | Shredded aluminium used beverage can (UBC) scrap | Shredded, bulk |
| Taldack | Densified aluminium used beverage can (UBC) scrap | Densified blocks |
| Teens | Segregated aluminium borings and turnings | Bulk, drummed |
| Telic | Mixed aluminium borings and turnings | Bulk, drummed |
| Tweak | Fragmentizer aluminium scrap (from automobile shredders) | Shredded, bulk |
| Twitch | Floated fragmentizer aluminium scrap (from automobile shredders) | Shredded, bulk |
| Throb | Sweated aluminium | Sows, ingot form |
| Zorba | Shredded non-ferrous scrap (predominantly aluminium) | Shredded, bulk |
Descriptions follow the code names published in the ISRI (now ReMA) Scrap Specifications Circular. The Circular is the authoritative source for full technical specifications, tolerances and contamination limits, and governs grading in the event of a dispute. Availability varies by origin market and season — confirm current position on enquiry.
Aluminium ingots
Alloy and casting ingot specifications
Alongside scrap, we trade secondary aluminium alloy ingots against the standard designations recognised by die casters and foundries internationally.
| Designation | Standard | Alloy family | Typical application |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADC12 | JIS H5302 (Japan) | Al–Si–Cu | High-pressure die casting; the most widely traded die-cast ingot |
| ADC10 | JIS H5302 (Japan) | Al–Si–Cu | Die casting where higher copper content is specified |
| A380 | ASTM B85 / AA (USA) | Al–Si–Cu | General-purpose die casting, automotive and industrial parts |
| A383 | ASTM B85 / AA (USA) | Al–Si–Cu | Die casting of thin-walled and complex components |
| LM6 | BS 1490 (UK) | Al–Si (eutectic) | Sand and gravity casting; excellent fluidity and corrosion resistance |
| LM24 | BS 1490 (UK) | Al–Si–Cu | Pressure die casting, general engineering components |
| LM25 | BS 1490 (UK) | Al–Si–Mg | Gravity and sand casting where strength after heat treatment matters |
| EN AC-46000 | EN 1706 (Europe) | AlSi9Cu3(Fe) | European standard die-casting alloy |
Designations above indicate the standard each alloy is defined under. Exact chemistry, tolerances and any additional element limits are confirmed per contract against the governing standard and, where required, third-party analysis. Alloy families differ meaningfully in silicon, copper and magnesium content — we will not substitute one designation for another without written agreement.
Trade capability
What we handle on every consignment
Import documentation & customs
Customs paperwork, inspection certificates and shipping documentation prepared to the standard Indian customs requires, and cleared through Mumbai or Kolkata — the part that quietly determines whether a consignment clears on time.
Warehousing & handling
Our own warehouse facility and a 15-strong material handling team inspect, segregate and stage material on arrival, so what reaches your furnace is what was contracted.
The process
From enquiry to delivery
Enquiry & specification
You share grade, quantity, delivery point and any inspection requirement. We confirm whether we can serve it before quoting.
Sourcing & verification
We source from our overseas supplier network and verify the material against the stated ISRI grade or alloy standard.
Shipping & customs clearance
Commercial terms are agreed in writing, documentation is prepared, and the consignment clears through Mumbai or Kolkata.
Handling & delivery
Material is inspected and segregated at our warehouse, then delivered to you. You're kept informed from loading through to arrival.
On commercial terms: pricing, Incoterms and payment structure are agreed directly with each counterparty rather than published, since they depend on grade, volume, route and relationship. Ask and we'll give you a straight answer.
Origin markets
Where we source from
We hold active supplier relationships across four continents. For an Indian buyer that breadth matters: scrap availability and pricing shift constantly by origin, and a supplier tied to one market passes every one of those swings on to you.
- Asia
- Africa
- North America
- Australia
Consignments enter India through Mumbai and Kolkata, and are supplied onward to smelters, foundries and mills across the country. We handle more than 15,000 tonnes of material a year.
