In 1989 we opened a tradingoffice now located in Munster, Indiana (Lormet Trading Inc.). In

New York (Massena Metal Inc.) with a sweat furnace and reverb furnace for the production of aluminum sows.

Services Provided

The services of each of our yards are split into three functionsthat overlap each other. One of the functions is in the servicingof local industrial accounts. The second function which stems outof the first, is the processing of metals in our yards fordistribution to various foundries and smelters internationally.
The third function is the brokering of material from suppliersto an end source. Our facilities allow us to take material, sortit and then process it through shears, shredders, balers,
briquetters or furnaces, as per specifications given to us by ourcustomers.

The materials we purchase vary, based on market prices and demand by our customers. The majority of our business is in aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel and steel. We will alsopurchase almost any other type of metal as well as secondary metals that are already packaged and ready for re-sale.

The materials we sell vary, also based on market prices and demand of our customers. We usually package the material to various specifications based on customer needs. Packaging variesfrom drums, pallets, gaylord boxes to sacks, bales, briquettes, sows and loose material.

Geographic Marketing Activity

Located on the North American continent, most of our trade occursin this region due to the relatively high demand for secondarymetal products. Most of our non-ferrous exports are to the United
States while our ferrous materials are usually sold in the vicinity of each yard due to transport costs. At the same time, we do trade off the continent. In the past, we have exported and/or imported from England, Germany, France, Australia, South
Africa, India, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and China. We are looking atincreasing our import/export business overseas in the near future.

ISO and other Standards

We are in the early stages of achieving ISO 9002 certificationand hope to achieve this by 1998. With this, we expect to also achieve certification for QS9000, in compliance with North
American Automotive Industry. Our dedication to quality is demonstrated by awards such as the Supplier Award For Outstanding
Quality given to us by Reynolds Aluminum.
