Tom Martin & Company Limited – Non-Ferrous Metal Specialists and Service Providers to the UK Manufacturing Industry since 1948.

Tom Martin & Company is the UK’s leading independent non-ferrous scrap metal merchant and trading company. With over 60 years of in-depth experience, Tom Martin & Company has firmly established itself as an integral part of the scrap industry, developing a partnership approach with its customers and suppliers alike. Whether your company is a small independent enterprise, or a large multi-national, we will offer you the same core values and principles:

Value

The very best returns for your metal waste. Tom Martin & Company places great importance on up-grading and maintaining the quality of material where possible. Segregation and sorting is second nature to us: our preference is always to seek and develop specialist markets for our material, ensuring maximum returns are achieved for the waste.

Service

We deliver a service tailored to your individual needs, from an ad-hoc collection basis right up to a total waste management package. We have a wide range of storage equipment and we are always ready and willing to invest in additional tailor-made solutions in partnership with our customers. Our fleet of 18 vehicles are fitted with satellite tracking devices so that we can give you up-to-the-minute information regarding your collection.

Confidence

As a very strong independent business, which has built up an unrivalled track record over 60 years, firstly you can be confident that your waste will be treated in the correct way, satisfying all relevant legislative requirements and secondly, that payment will be made in a timely manner according to the agreed commercial terms.

Transparency

As part of our contractual terms, we can offer prices linked to an independent index such as the London Metal Exchange (LME) or the Metal Bulletin, which is published weekly. This ensures that the scrap prices truly reflect the prevailing market conditions, and offers protection to all parties by removing the vagaries of the scrap market.

Professionalism

Our customer and supplier base is made up of some of the most highly demanding blue-chip aerospace and automotive companies and we therefore understand that our standards must live up to your expectations. We are ISO 9001 accredited and we have strict policies in place to cover scrap traceability, segregation, health, safety and environmental issues, as well as comprehensive reporting procedures.

Sustainability

We have developed a truly global network of trading partners, from small specialist foundries right up to the largest multi-national primary smelting facilities in the world. Our customer base is spread across many different industries in every corner of the globe. As a company, we always look to the long-term and we are continuously seeking to develop new opportunities in a fast-changing and developing global economy. This market knowledge ensures that we remain competitive in all market conditions and that we offer our customers consistent, reliable and long-term value-for-money.

We recognise that the part we play in the supply chain is often crucial to the smooth-running of our customers’ manufacturing facilities, and that the professional manner in which we operate plays an essential role in ensuring both the maximisation of scrap revenues, as well as optimum quality and specification to the end consumer.

Customers come to Tom Martin & Company because they value our partnership approach. We work together with customers, advising them on segregation and storage issues, with the common goals of maximising the value of the scrap metal; minimising the burden of internal and external logistics and the environmental impact of the waste; and improving the health, safety and general housekeeping of our customers’ sites. We know that the best results are achieved through close commercial and technical collaboration, which is why we always take a long-term view, with the aim of fully understanding our customers’ needs, priorities and future plans.
