Information for suppliers

MetalTracer was created to eliminate the financial and logistical inefficiencies that exist within the secondary metals marketplace. Each year approximately 5 million metric tons of less-than-prime grade flat rolled product pass through the United States. The current market infrastructure is fragmented and necessitates the involvement of thousands of brokers and distributors that fill needs of Suppliers and Buyers while maintaining control over product flow and pricing. Such a market structure hinders supply-demand efficiency and creates a fundamental problem for the secondary buyer in his efforts to quickly satisfy precise material requirements.

MetalTracer solves this problem by exposing the buyer to a vast network of inventory. The probability of finding the exact match improves dramatically compared to the traditional network of regionalized brokers and agents. The system was designed to provide a turnkey solution for the buyer, from the initial search for material, through preparation of a transportable load, to final purchase. Buyers the world over have never experienced such a level of ease and reliability.

Every part of the MetalTracer website was designed to address the specific needs of this unique marketplace. The result is a highly effective trading floor that insures product integrity, market efficiency and supply-demand equilibrium at all times.

Materials enter and exit MetalTracer's inventory 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Our systems offer information for all users based on their specific needs, in real time. MetalTracer delivers what you need, when you need it. Our staff exists in cooperation with our technology. We are available to answer questions, advise on material condition or provide technical assistance.
