Metal Services

Imperial Group provides a comprehensive suite of metals services across the full supply chain. From scrap collection to finished alloy delivery, we are your single-source partner.

Scrap Processing & Recovery

Green, sustainable scrap recycling for businesses of all sizes. We accept ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, lead, e-scrap, and more. Freight is included. Our processing facilities in Chicago and Northlake handle high volumes with precision grading and transparent pricing indexed to LME and COMEX markets.

Manufacturing

Imperial Group operates aluminum smelting and alloying facilities in Minerva, Ohio, and zinc smelting and alloying operations in Chicago. We convert recovered scrap into specification-grade aluminum and zinc alloys for industrial customers.

Trading & Risk Management

We trade ferrous and non-ferrous metals at scale on LME- and COMEX-indexed markets. Our trading desk provides hedging capabilities, market intelligence, and direct access to buyers and sellers across North America. We are the market — not a broker.

Logistics

Imperial Express operates 35+ company-owned trucks and deploys 250+ spot trailers at customer facilities across the Midwest. We own the supply chain from pickup to delivery — no third-party brokers, no gaps in service.

Wire & Cable Demanufacturing

Specialty recovery of copper and aluminum from insulated wire, armored cable, and oilfield cable. Our wire and cable demanufacturing capabilities are a key differentiator in the Imperial platform, enabling recovery of high-value material that most recyclers cannot process.

Demolition

Reliable project management for the safe and efficient removal, transportation, and disposal of on-site materials. Our demolition services are integrated with our logistics and recycling operations for a seamless end-to-end solution.
