We lie awake at night thinking about ways for manufacturers to save money (or avoid spending it unnecessarily) on their metal purchases. From aluminum and steel, to rhodium to gallium, from the thinnest-gauge foils to the largest castings and forgings available, we cover a wide range of diverse topics including green sourcing, lean sourcing, global pricing trends, capacity constraints, supply market M&A activity, and much more. With a preemptive global perspective on the issues, trends, strategies, and trade policies that will impact how you source and/or trade metals and related metals services, MetalMiner provides unique insight, analysis, and tools for buyers, purchasing professionals, and everyone else for whom metals and their related markets matter. Commentators Lisa Reisman and Stuart Burns, co-founders of Aptium Global Inc., have extensive experience in sourcing and trading metals products around the world. Authors of dozens of articles, sourcing tools, and white papers, they share strategies, insights, and trends for cost-avoidance and savings opportunities for metals-related purchases.Welcome to MetalMiner!
