Metalco, a leading non-ferrous metal supplier, is set to showcase its extensive range of products at the upcoming Alucast 2024 exhibition. Founded in 2011, Metalco has quickly established itself as a trusted supplier, offering high-quality metals, alloys, and commodities from renowned global suppliers. Known for its commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, Metalco’s participation in Alucast 2024 marks another significant milestone in its mission to serve the dynamic needs of industries worldwide.
Metalco, based in Delhi, has carved a niche as a vital conduit between international metal manufacturers and Indian industries in the last decade. Founded in 2011, Metalco has a rich history rooted in the extensive experience of its founder, Varghese Mathew, who has been a critical player in the non-ferrous metal industry since 1992. With a clear focus on import-driven trading, Metalco brings niche metal products from global markets to Indian manufacturers, fulfilling the needs of a burgeoning industrial ecosystem.
Metalco began after its founder and managing director, Varghese Mathew, gained invaluable experience working with the British Metal Corporation as a country manager for a leading German metal powder manufacturer. This foundation helped the company develop robust relationships within the global metal industry. Over the past 13 years, Metalco has steadily expanded its network, representing overseas producers of primary aluminium alloys, master alloys, and non-ferrous scraps, catering to India’s die-casting and secondary alloying industries.
India’s manufacturing growth has opened up new opportunities for importing and exporting specialized metal products. Despite domestic advancements in production, certain niche products still rely on international suppliers. Metalco bridges this gap by importing essential raw materials for alloy making, die-casting, and manufacturing components for automotive, white goods, and industrial machinery. This vital role ensures that Indian manufacturers can access high-quality materials for their operations.
Starting Metalco was not without its challenges. However, with decades of experience and a lean operational model focusing on people and relationships, the company has successfully navigated economic fluctuations and industry downturns. Looking ahead, Metalco plans to expand its footprint by venturing into exports of niche products from India, capitalizing on the country’s growing manufacturing capabilities.
Metalco’s participation in Alucast 2024, India’s premier event for the aluminium die-casting industry, showcases its commitment to building relationships within the sector. Sharing a booth with one of its principals, Metalco will exhibit primary aluminium alloys tailored for die casters. For Metalco, Alucast 2024 offers an excellent platform for connecting with existing customers and exploring new opportunities in a focused environment.
“Alucast 2024 is an ideal event for us as it attracts a concentrated audience of alloy users and die casters. It allows us to present our offerings and build stronger connections under one roof,” said Varghese Mathew. This year, Metalco’s first independent participation reflects its evolving role in the aluminium die-casting supply chain.
Varghese Mathew reflected on his entrepreneurial journey: “Starting my own company was a step toward greater flexibility and innovation. It has allowed me to explore diverse opportunities, build a people-driven organization, and contribute meaningfully to the industry.” With its solid foundation and clear vision, Metalco is set to strengthen India’s presence in the global non-ferrous metals market.
Metalco stands out for its expertise in importing high-quality metal products and its forward-looking approach. By building partnerships with Indian manufacturers and leveraging global networks, the company is poised to drive exports of niche products, contributing to India’s industrial growth on the global stage.
