What began as a meeting of 5 likeminded and determined individuals around a dining room table in St. Louis, Missouri more than 36 years ago, has evolved into an enterprise more than 500 strong, reaching around the world. Founded in 1974, Metal Exchange Corporation has grown from a regional aluminum scrap trading company to a global marketer and manufacturer of non-ferrous metals.

With a unique blend of marketing expertise and manufacturing excellence, Metal Exchange Corporation is able to provide its customers an unparalleled array of services across all facets of the non-ferrous metals industry. Be it one truckload of scrap or one hundred containers of billet, Metal Exchange Corporation strives to maximize value for its customers, and approaches every transaction with integrity. We do what we say!

Ingrained in the minds of every Metal Exchange Corporation employee is the following Latin phrase and motto of its founder: “ Nisi adieris non intellegis” or, “If you don’t go, you don’t know.” This brief statement encompasses the culture of Metal Exchange Corporation. Visit the customer. See their operations. Understand their needs. There is no better way to create the long lasting, trusting, win/win relationships that are the foundation of Metal Exchange Corporation.
