Our Process
With our state of the art plant in Manchester, Georgia, a second location in Houston, Texas, and a third plant with Corporate Headquarters in Toronto, Canada, Eccomelt uses a patented, non thermal recycling and cleaning method to process aluminum wheels that creates an extremely low carbon A356 aluminum alloy product in a form that lowers operational costs and reduces emissions in the factories of our customers. We have a network of distributors around the globe.
Our product creates minimal dross when melting and allows for high density to maximize furnace and transportation efficiency.
Eccomelt is committed to providing superior product quality, service and added value options to our customers. We have built a sterling reputation of delivering high quality products and services that are second to none.
