IMET Alloys

What IMET Alloys does

IMET Alloys is an independent, privately held materials management company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Livingston, UK, with operating sites in France (European HQ, Eyrein), the United States (Monroe, NC and Plainville, CT), and Czech Republic (Prague). The company specializes in closed-loop management and processing of titanium and superalloy revert (manufacturing scrap and offcut) for the aerospace, energy, oil & gas, and medical device industries. Its core offering consists of bespoke Closed-Loop Materials Management Programs that encompass on-site segregation, sorting, cleaning, inspection, and processing of revert so that it can be remelted with no loss of quality relative to virgin or prime material. Processing covers nickel-based superalloys (718, 625, C263, Waspaloy) and titanium alloys (6-4, Ti-17, 6-2-4-6).

The service is delivered on top of proprietary processing technology and an advanced IT platform that provides end-to-end real-time visibility and full traceability of material flow inside each customer's closed-loop supply chain. The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales: bespoke multi-year materials management programs developed in direct partnership with major OEM customers, supported by thought-leadership content and a presence at industry events such as the Paris Air Show, the ITA Conference, and the French Titanium Association Conference. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured as negotiated, quote-based agreements.

IMET operates an unusually asset-light services model relative to a traditional metals recycler, with revenue tied to the volume and complexity of revert processed on behalf of customers. Quality systems are certified under ISO 9001:2015 (Intertek ANAB) for the US sites and under BSI accreditation for the UK site. The company is founder/management-owned with no disclosed private equity or venture capital backing and no public listing. The 2022 opening of the French European headquarters and the 2024 FEDER-FSE-supported expansion of processing capacity and product lines at the same site mark the most significant recent capital moves and align IMET with the European aerospace industry's stated circular-economy and raw-material resilience strategy.

Core offering

IMET Alloys provides bespoke closed-loop materials management and processing programs for titanium and superalloy revert (manufacturing scrap). Services include segregation, sorting, cleaning, inspection, classification, and processing of nickel-based superalloys (718, 625, C263, Waspaloy) and titanium alloys (6-4, Ti-17, 6-2-4-6) so they can be remelted to virgin-equivalent quality. The company's proprietary IT systems deliver 100% real-time visibility and traceability of material flow within customers' supply chains.

Product overview

IMET Alloys is an independent titanium and superalloys materials management company offering a unified platform of closed-loop materials management and processing services. The core offering consists of bespoke Closed-Loop Materials Management Programs combined with Superalloy Processing Services and Titanium Revert Processing capabilities. These are supported by advanced Closed-Loop Supply Chain Systems that use proprietary technology to deliver 100% visibility and traceability of materials. Together, these services enable manufacturers to recover superalloy and titanium metals at their highest quality and value, creating circular economies that reduce dependence on critical raw materials and exposure to volatile pricing and supply chain disruption.

Direct peers

• ELG Metals: ELG Metals is a global aerospace and high-temperature alloy scrap processor, recycling titanium and nickel-based superalloy revert into furnace-ready feedstock for remelters and OEMs. It is the closest direct competitor to IMET Alloys in closed-loop aerospace revert management.
• Bodycote: Bodycote provides thermal processing services, including heat treatment and surface treatments, to aerospace, energy, and medical OEMs. Its processing-services model for safety-critical alloys is comparable to IMET's specialized processing and value-added handling of titanium and superalloy revert.
• Aero Metals Alliance: Aero Metals Alliance is a consortium of aerospace scrap and metals recyclers serving aerospace OEMs and Tier suppliers. It is a direct competitor in the aerospace revert aggregation and processing market that IMET addresses.

Broad incumbents

• Allegheny Technologies (ATI): ATI is a diversified specialty metals manufacturer with major titanium and nickel-based superalloy product lines serving aerospace and defense. It overlaps with IMET as a large integrated titanium and superalloy producer and could compete or partner across the closed-loop supply chain.
• Carpenter Technology Corporation: Carpenter Technology manufactures specialty alloys, including nickel-based superalloys and titanium alloys, for aerospace, medical, and energy markets. It is a broader incumbent whose material portfolio overlaps with IMET's processing scope.
• TIMET (Titanium Metals Corporation): TIMET is one of the world's largest integrated titanium manufacturers, supplying aerospace OEMs and working extensively with titanium revert. It represents the downstream remelting/rolling side of the same value chain IMET serves at the revert processing stage.
• VSMPO-AVISMA: VSMPO-AVISMA is the world's largest titanium producer and a key strategic supplier to major aerospace OEMs. It is the dominant prime-titanium incumbent relevant to IMET's closed-loop titanium supply chain work.
• Haynes International: Haynes International manufactures high-performance nickel- and cobalt-based alloys for aerospace, chemical processing, and energy. Its superalloy portfolio (including Inconel-family equivalents) overlaps directly with the materials IMET processes.
• Special Metals Corporation: Special Metals is a leading producer of nickel-based superalloys, including Inconel 718 and 625, which are explicitly named in IMET's processing portfolio. It operates on the manufacturing side of the same aerospace superalloy value chain.
• Howmet Aerospace: Howmet Aerospace is a major manufacturer of nickel-based superalloy and titanium castings for jet engines and aerospace structures. Its vertical integration of superalloy processing makes it both a customer archetype for IMET and a potential integrator of revert operations.
