Our History

The roots of our business go back to the 1910s in France.

We began with old scrap collection, then started zinc remelting in the 1950s, and have been focused on trading since the 1980s.

Metal Trading started doing business in 1990, specializing for the longest time in trading of primary and secondary zinc ingots and zinc residues.

Our American sister company Pan American Zinc was created in 2014 to focus on hemispheric trading opportunities in the U.S. and Latin America, mostly in Aluminium, Copper and Zinc scraps & residues.

Both Metal Trading and Pan American Zinc are owned by CEO Dan Marjenberg.
