Your trade matters to us
At an established house, a mid-size inquiry sits behind larger accounts. Here, every inquiry gets senior attention because every relationship we build now sets the trajectory of the business.

About Egyptalum Company
An international industrial commodities trading company specializing in the sourcing, procurement and global distribution of aluminum and other non-ferrous metal products.
Who we are
A trading house built around the transaction, not the inventory
We are not a mill and we are not a warehouse. We are the counterparty that makes a cross-border metals transaction actually complete.
Egyptalum Company works with qualified manufacturers, producers and distributors to supply aluminum and non-ferrous metal products to industrial customers worldwide. Our value is in the connective work — matching a requirement to a source that can genuinely meet it, negotiating terms that hold up, coordinating movement of the cargo where the agreed Incoterms place that with us, producing a document set that clears customs and satisfies the bank, and structuring payment so both parties are protected.
That work is unglamorous and it is where most international trades fail. It is deliberately what we have organized the company around.
We are registered in the State of South Carolina and operate from Moncks Corner, roughly 30 miles inland from the Port of Charleston. Being close to a deepwater container port matters more than it sounds: it shortens the drayage leg, it keeps us within reach of the terminal when a booking needs fixing in person, and it puts us in the same time zone as most of our US customers while still overlapping the European working day.

Straight talk
We are a new company. Here is why that works in your favor.
You will find no decades-long client list on this site, because we do not have one yet. What we would rather do is be specific about what you actually get.
You deal with decision-makers
No account-management layer between you and the person negotiating your contract. Questions get answered by someone who can actually change the terms.
No legacy supplier obligations
We are not tied to sources we have to keep feeding volume. We go to the market that fits your specification and your delivery window.
Structure over reputation
We do not ask you to take our word for it. Payment security, inspection rights and quality remedies are written into the contract, where they are enforceable.
Start small, prove it
A trial shipment on a secure payment instrument is a reasonable way to begin, and we would rather you did that than take a large first position on trust.
We tell you when we can't
If your specification, route or timeline is not something we can deliver properly, we say so at the inquiry stage instead of finding out mid-shipment.
Operating principles
How we conduct business
01
Specification before price
A price quoted against a loose description is not a real price. We fix grade, standard, tolerance, packing and delivery basis first — then quote something we can stand behind.
02
Written contracts, always
Every transaction is documented in a sales contract covering quality, quantity tolerance, price basis, Incoterm, payment instrument, inspection rights, force majeure and dispute resolution. No handshake trades.
03
Suppliers qualified before they are offered
We check production capacity, quality systems and export documentation capability before putting a producer in front of a customer. A supplier we cannot verify is not a supplier we offer.
04
Compliance is not optional
We screen counterparties and destinations against applicable sanctions and export-control requirements, and decline business that cannot be conducted lawfully — including where scrap or waste-shipment rules do not permit the movement.
05
Problems surfaced early
Delays and quality issues happen in physical trade. Our commitment is that you hear about them from us as soon as we know, with options attached — not after the vessel has sailed.
06
Confidentiality on both sides
Specifications, volumes, pricing and supplier identities are treated as commercially confidential. We will sign an NDA before a detailed discussion if you prefer.
Compliance & responsibility
Trading within the rules, deliberately
Metals trade sits inside a dense regulatory perimeter: sanctions, export controls, customs valuation, waste-shipment law and destination conformity requirements.
We treat that perimeter as a design constraint rather than an afterthought. Counterparties and end destinations are screened before contracting. Origin is documented. Where a movement requires a license or a notification — particularly for scrap and secondary raw materials — it is obtained before the cargo books, not chased afterwards.
- Counterparty screeningBuyers, suppliers and destinations checked against applicable sanctions and restricted-party requirements.
- Documented originMaterial origin evidenced so customs declarations and preference claims are accurate.
- Accurate declarationsGoods described and valued as they actually are. We do not under-declare or mis-classify to reduce duty.
- Waste-shipment rulesScrap movements assessed against export licensing and destination import controls before contracting.
- Anti-briberyNo facilitation payments. If a route only works through one, it is not a route we take.
Who we work with
Three sides of the same market
Industrial buyers & OEMs
Manufacturers who need a reliable input stream at a defined specification: extruders, rolling mills, foundries, fabricators, cable makers and construction suppliers.
Traders & distributors
Regional stockists and trading houses looking for a dependable counterparty on specific lots, back-to-back trades or supply into markets they do not cover directly.
Producers & suppliers
Mills, smelters and processors with capacity to place, who want export routes handled — documentation, freight and payment security — without building that function in-house.
