It is the UK's largest producer of primary and secondary aluminium and copper alloys, producing grades from common die casting alloys (e.g. LM24) to high-grade integrity casting alloys (e.g. LM6/LM25), along with copper-based master alloys (Brookside brand) including brass, gunmetal, tin bronze, silicon bronze and aluminium bronze. The company also offers toll conversion/closed-loop recycling of aluminium and copper dross and swarf, and certified secure destruction of metals and tokens.

Product overview

Milver Metals is the UK's largest producer of high-performance aluminium and copper alloys, offering a unified product portfolio centred on premium quality ingots. The product offering comprises three core product lines: Aluminium Alloys (including grades LM24, LM6, LM25), Copper Alloys under the Brookside brand (including brass, gunmetal, tin bronze, silicon bronze, aluminium bronze), and Master Alloys (copper-based with iron, manganese, chrome, zirconium). These are complemented by two service offerings: Toll Conversion & Closed Loop (metal waste processing and recycling) and Secure Destruction (certified destruction of materials). The company serves niche casting producers to high-volume automotive companies, with capabilities ranging from standard grades to bespoke alloys.
