Welcome to Trident Metals, specialists in recycling aerospace alloys using a unique individual small batch melting and casting operation.

Established in 1978, Trident Metals have operated from a 3-acre site, with 30,000 ft² of warehousing in Deeside, North Wales.

In 1998 Trident introduced melting capacity into their operation and now produce approximately 8000 tons per annum of RSI. Tridents high purity melting methods provide a distinct competitive advantage to their clients.

Trident specialise in the recycling of high purity aluminium alloys, helping customers and suppliers develop a “closed loop” supply chain, delivering to leading global producers that serve the primary aerospace and aviation markets throughout the world.

The ‘closed-loop system’ allows Trident to acquire, high-purity scrap from aerospace suppliers, subsequently processing and melting their production scrap offcuts and briquetted aluminium.

Trident manufactures 500kg ‘in specification’ re-melt primary sow (RSI), which can be used as a direct primary replacement in aerospace alloy production, yielding a substantial reduction in CO₂ emissions.

The utilization of Tridents processes and controls supports considerable reductions in CO₂ emissions. The production of 1 ton of primary aluminium can produce up to 20 tons of CO₂, when compared to the use of 1 ton of recycled aluminium as a direct primary replacement, which generates only 0.41 tons of CO₂, a reduction in CO₂ emissions of 98% can be achieved.

Tridents ability and commitment to preserving purity, composition and yield has led to them developing into an extremely trusted partner and integral link in the aerospace and aviation sectors.
