How we operate
From regional yards to global ports — a transparent, end-to-end process. We handle every step with discipline, accountability, and care.
Process
From yard to world in nine steps
Every shipment follows the same rigorous path. We source locally, consolidate regionally, and deliver globally — with full transparency at each stage and ISRI-compliant documentation at every handover
Regional sourcing
Local suppliers, yards, and factories across the Levant feed our network.
Collection and transport
Our own haulage fleet covers the region with scheduled pickups.
Yard receipt and weighing
Material arrives, is weighed to the kilogram and logged into our tracking system.
Sourcing
We know the yards and the people
Golden Metals sources non-ferrous scrap from a network of local and regional suppliers — yards,
factories, demolition sites, and industrial operations across the Levant. We have built these
relationships over years. We know who has material, what condition it is in, and when it will be ready. This is not transactional. It is built on trust.
Three bullet points
- Direct relationships with regional suppliers built over fifteen years
- Consistent material flow and fair, market-indexed pricing
- Regional coverage across yards, factories, and industrial sites
Logistics
Pickup and logistics built for scale
Our own haulage fleet covers the region with scheduled pickups and reliable transport. Material
moves from supplier to yard on our timeline, not theirs — which means consistent flow into our
processing facility and predictable turnaround for export.
Operations
Every gram is weighed and graded
Material is logged on arrival, weighed to the kilogram, and sorted by type and alloy. We follow ISRI specifications. Nothing leaves our yard without being accounted for, graded, and entered into the
chain-of-custody record.
Three bullet points
- Receiving and intake documentation on every load
- Mechanical and manual sorting by alloy and grade
- Grading to ISRI/ReMA international quality standards
Quality
Testing and inspection before shipment
We test every batch. Samples are retained, results documented, and certificates issued before any
container leaves the yard. Your buyer receives exactly what was promised — no disputes at
discharge, no surprises at the smelter.
Three bullet points
- XRF chemical analysis and purity verification on every lot
- Sample retention for dispute resolution and re-verification
- Full traceability and lot documentation per shipment
Export
Baled, sealed, and ready for the world
Material is baled or packed to buyer specification, loaded into containers under direct supervision, sealed with traceable closures, and handed to the port with complete export documentation. No
surprises at any stage.
Shipping
Global partners, reliable transit times
We work with established international shipping lines and support all major INCOTERMS — FOB,
CFR, CIF, EXW. Typical transit times: Europe 10–14 days, Asia 18–24 days, Americas 20–26 days
from port of loading.
Documentation
What you receive
Every shipment includes full documentation for customs clearance, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance.
Bill of lading
Proof of shipment and carrier responsibility, indexed to your container number.
Certificate of origin
Confirms regional sourcing and supports trade-agreement compliance.
Weight certificate
Official weights verified at certified yard scales, signed and stamped.
Inspection report
Chemical test results, purity verification, and
quality attestations.
Facilities
Our facilities
Capacity to handle regional volume with precision and speed — from sorting bays to container
loading docks.
Impact
Recycling saves energy and cuts emissions
Every tonne of scrap we process avoids the energy cost of primary smelting. Recycled aluminium
saves 95% of the energy required for virgin production. Recycled copper saves 85%. The math is simple — we move material that would otherwise sit in landfill into furnaces that feed manufacturing. That is the circular economy in practice
