European Asian Metal

What European Asian Metal does

European Asian Metal Ltd. (EAM, DBA) is a privately-held B2B scrap metal trading company headquartered at North Drive, Northfield Industrial Estate, Rotherham S60 1QF in the United Kingdom, with a Singapore-registered entity (Reg: 201312854H) and UK Companies House registration 08265993. Founded in 2013, the company operates with 11–50 employees and specializes in the export and supply of ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap across an international footprint that spans Africa, India, Korea, China, Dubai, the UK, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, and wider Europe, with ferrous material sourced from the Middle East, Europe, and South Africa.

EAM's product portfolio is organized into ferrous scrap (HMS 1, HMS 80:20, PNS Plates, Re Bars, Steel Turning Scrap, LMS Bundles, Shredded Scrap, Re-Rolling Scrap, and others), non-ferrous scrap (copper in grades such as Millberry, Berry/Candy, Birch/Cliff; brass including Yellow Brass Honey, Gun Metal, and radiator and ingot variants; aluminium including 6061/6063 extrusions, UBC, Taint/Tabor, and turnings; stainless steel in grades 304, 201, 316, 430, 321 and Cupro Nickel; lead scrap including remelted ingots and battery scrap; zinc scrap including die cast and ingots; and silicon metals), and minerals and coals (notably Magnetite Iron Ore). The catalog is presented as a one-stop scrap and mineral supply offering.

The business model is transaction-based commodity trading with no publicly listed pricing, operating on direct B2B sales to steel mills, foundries, and re-sellers, alongside an agency channel in which EAM represents several processing yards that handle physical scrap processing and export. The company does not disclose revenue, funding, ownership, or financial metrics, has no app, API, or proprietary technology, and has no certifications, patents, or AI/ML capabilities referenced. Customer segments are horizontal across the metal recycling value chain, and the company competes primarily on long-tenured trading relationships (cited at 10–50 years) and international reach rather than on technology differentiation.

• Glencore plc: Glencore is a global commodities trader with a major metals and minerals business. Comparable as a trader-broker of ferrous, non-ferrous and mineral commodities, though vastly larger and vertically integrated.
• Schnitzer Steel Industries: Schnitzer is a US-based ferrous and non-ferrous scrap recycler and finished steel product manufacturer. Overlapping product portfolio (HMS, stainless, non-ferrous) and similar end markets in steel mills.
• Sims Limited: Sims is a global scrap metal recycler listed on the ASX with operations across North America, UK/Europe and ANZ. Comparable as a multi-metal ferrous and non-ferrous scrap trader/processor, though larger and asset-heavy.

Direct peers
