Lorbec Metals Ltd.
Company Profile
Lorbec Metals Ltd. is a dealer in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Established in 1977, we are located in Saint Hubert, Quebec
on the south shore of Montreal. As a scrap dealer we perform the
functions of separating, packaging and preparing material to
specification for our customers. In 1989 we opened a trading
office now located in Munster, Indiana (Lormet Trading Inc.). In
1992 we opened another yard and office in Flint, Michigan on the
outskirts of Detroit (Lorbec Metals USA Ltd.). The lastest
addition to the company, in August 1995, was a yard in Massena,
New York (Massena Metal Inc.) with a sweat furnace and reverb
furnace for the production of aluminum sows.
Services Provided
The services of each of our yards are split into three functions
that overlap each other. One of the functions is in the servicing
of local industrial accounts. The second function which stems out
of the first, is the processing of metals in our yards for
distribution to various foundries and smelters internationally.
The third function is the brokering of material from suppliers
to an end source. Our facilities allow us to take material, sort
it and then process it through shears, shredders, balers,
briquetters or furnaces, as per specifications given to us by our
customers.
Material Purchased
The materials we purchase vary, based on market prices and
demand by our customers. The majority of our business is in
aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel and steel. We will also
purchase almost any other type of metal as well as secondary
metals that are already packaged and ready for re-sale.
Material Sold
The materials we sell vary, also based on market prices and
demand of our customers. We usually package the material to
various specifications based on customer needs. Packaging varies
from drums, pallets, gaylord boxes to sacks, bales, briquettes,
sows and loose material.
Geographic Marketing Activity
Located on the North American continent, most of our trade occurs
in this region due to the relatively high demand for secondary
metal products. Most of our non-ferrous exports are to the United
States while our ferrous materials are usually sold in the
vicinity of each yard due to transport costs. At the same time,
we do trade off the continent. In the past, we have exported
and/or imported from England, Germany, France, Australia, South
Africa, India, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and China. We are looking at
increasing our import/export business overseas in the near
future.
ISO and other Standards
We are in the early stages of achieving ISO 9002 certification
and hope to achieve this by 1998. With this, we expect to also
achieve certification for QS9000, in compliance with North
American Automotive Industry. Our dedication to quality is
demonstrated by awards such as the Supplier Award For Outstanding
Quality given to us by Reynolds Aluminum.
