INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS
Thames Non-Ferrous Metals
Focused on commercial requirements involving non-ferrous metals, metallurgical feedstock and related industrial materials.
OVERVIEW
Material requirements defined by grade, form and application.
Thames considers enquiries in the context of intended application, required specification, supply route and delivery market.
That application-led approach distinguishes a workable material brief from an undifferentiated commodity request and clarifies the quality evidence needed.
METALLURGICAL FEEDSTOCK
Inputs defined by process
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Supply shaped by end use
MARKET CONNECTION
The benchmark is not the delivered price.
A metals requirement links market conditions with physical specification, conversion and delivery.
Separate benchmark from basis
An LME reference may be only one component; premiums, discounts, conversion, freight, currency and payment timing determine commercial exposure.
Processing concentration matters
A headline market balance may conceal dependence on a refinery, qualified producer, route or by-product value chain.
Alternatives take time
A substitute source must meet grade, form, standard, test-document and acceptance requirements before it is useful.

Specification comes first.
Define the material
Provide the metal or alloy, grade, form, standard, quantity and application.
Define the requirement
Identify destination, schedule, documentation, inspection and certification needs.
Assess the route
Review availability, counterparties, logistics and compliance before terms are considered.
Confirm quality
Identity, origin, certification, inspection and acceptance criteria require agreement.
