    Vagnini: Traxys teams up with Pure Aluminum and Consortium Metals

    Written by Gabriella Vagnini


    This is the kind of partnership that stands out. A global trading powerhouse, a sharp and growing recycled metals producer, and a seasoned commercial team are coming together to reshape how recycled aluminum is processed and delivered to customers across the United States.

    Traxys, Pure Aluminum, and Consortium Metals have joined forces to scale up domestic production of high-quality recycled aluminum. In a statement released by Traxys, the focus is on tight-spec materials like secondary alloys, recycled secondary ingot, aluminum deoxidizers, and wrought alloys for the die casting, steel, and primary aluminum sectors.

    AMU: Edward Meir’s week in review and thoughts for the week of Oct. 12, 2026

    Base metals had a mixed week. Tin lost almost 4% on the week, finishing at $53,000/ton. Prices dropped to a low of $51,259/ton at one point. Aluminum was another loser, off by about 1.6% on the week. Investors are expecting more aluminum supply going forward, especially out of China and Indonesia. Copper prices tacked on 1.1%. They have now recovered more than half of the $700/ton loss sustained (over the course of a week) following reports/rumors in mid-September that US tariffs on refined copper imports might not proceed after all.
