Independent metallurgical expertise for steel mills, foundries, traders and oil & gas operators — from greenfield feasibility studies through to third-party witnessing at load and discharge ports.
We source and move ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, iron ore and mineral raw materials at bulk scale, supplying EAF, BOF and IF steelmakers out of our Ajman Free Zone base.
Our VCAT2 & VCAT3 certified technicians run condition monitoring and reliability engineering programs that catch problems early — built for heavy manufacturing, mining and oil & gas operations worldwide.
From our base in Ajman, UAE, MatriX Metals moves bulk ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, iron ore and mineral raw materials to steelmakers and smelters worldwide.
MatriX Metals moves substantial bulk volumes for modern steel mills, without losing the quality control and responsiveness you'd expect from a specialist trader.
Work with one counterparty across ferrous, non-ferrous, iron ore and pellets — fewer suppliers to manage, simpler settlement, less overhead on your end.
Every parcel gets a metallurgist's eye, not just a trader's. We know EAF chemistry limits, tramp element thresholds, and how each grade actually behaves once it's in the furnace.
FOB, CFR, CIF, FCA accommodated. L/C at sight, deferred TT, open account. Provisional pricing with outturn weight adjustment available for large parcels.
Quarterly and annual supply agreements for mills requiring reliable scrap input. Contracted volumes give procurement teams certainty of supply and pricing frameworks.
Headquartered in Ajman Free Zone with port access across the UAE and wider GCC. FZC-registered UAE entity providing commercial certainty and regulatory compliance.
Reach us about your volume requirements — whether you're a steel mill seeking contracted scrap supply, or a generator with large-scale material to move. We respond within 24 hours.
Independent metallurgical expertise for steel mills, foundries, traders and oil & gas operators — from greenfield feasibility studies through to third-party witnessing at load and discharge ports.
Independent metallurgical expertise across the full project lifecycle — from early-stage feasibility through to commissioning, trading support, and port-side quality assurance.
Techno-economic feasibility studies for greenfield iron & steel manufacturing plants and foundry projects — covering raw material availability, process route selection, capex/opex estimation, and market viability, to support investment decisions with confidence.
Iron & Steel · Foundry Greenfield ProjectsEnd-to-end metallurgical support through project development, engineering review, commissioning, and ramp-up — bridging the gap between process design and reliable day-to-day plant operation.

Processing & BeneficiationInitial discussion to understand your project, trade, or technical challenge, and define the scope, standards, and deliverables required.
Document review, data gathering, and where required, site or port visits to gather first-hand technical and operational information.
On-site inspection, sampling, witnessing, or testing carried out to the agreed methodology and applicable international standards.
Results analysed against project or contractual requirements, with findings compiled into a clear, defensible technical report.
Practical recommendations delivered, with continued advisory support available through implementation, negotiation, or dispute resolution.
A comprehensive techno-economic report covering process route, raw material and utilities assessment, capex/opex estimates, and project viability for greenfield iron, steel, and foundry ventures.
Formal certification of sampling methodology applied and inspection findings at load or discharge port, prepared to support commercial settlement and dispute resolution.
Detailed material testing report covering mechanical, chemical, and corrosion performance data for material selection decisions on oil & gas and industrial projects.
Concise technical advisory notes for trading companies covering grade verification, specification queries, and quality issues arising during shipment or contract execution.
The Gulf is home to a fast-growing base of EAF steelmakers, foundries, and major bulk ports. MatriX Metals provides feasibility, project support, and port-side consultancy to producers and traders across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain.
India's steel and foundry sectors are among the fastest-growing globally. We support greenfield feasibility studies, technical due diligence, and port-side sampling and inspection across both integrated and mini-mill producers.
European producers and traders operate under some of the most demanding technical and quality standards globally. MatriX Metals supports material testing, specification verification, and independent witnessing to those standards.
As a consultancy — not a party to the underlying trade or project — MatriX Metals provides advice and findings free from commercial conflicts of interest, protecting the credibility of every report we issue.
Every feasibility study, sampling plan, and test programme is executed against recognised international standards, giving clients and their counterparties confidence in the results.
Client information, commercial terms, and project data are treated as strictly confidential, with engagement-specific NDAs available on request for sensitive assignments.
Live trades and port operations move fast. We structure our port-side and trading-support services around rapid response, so findings reach you while they're still commercially useful.
Our consultants bring decades of hands-on metallurgical and process engineering experience across steelmaking, foundry operations, and materials engineering for oil & gas.
MatriX Metals has supported feasibility studies, project engagements, and port-side inspections across the Middle East, India, and Europe, working with producers, traders, and operators alike.
No two assignments are identical. We scope every engagement — feasibility study, port witnessing, or material testing programme — around your specific project and commercial context.
As a consultancy rather than a counterparty, our findings carry the credibility of impartial, third-party technical opinion — valuable to both sides of a trade or a project decision.
We work with clients across the full project lifecycle, from early feasibility through to commissioning and ongoing trading support — building relationships, not one-off transactions.
From initial scoping to final report, MatriX Metals manages the entire consultancy engagement. One accountable partner, one point of contact, no gaps in the process.
