Our Process
Eccomelt256.2 is engineered for foundries demanding consistency, cleanliness, and performance. It matches the chemical composition and mechanical properties of A356.2 but comes in a ready-to-melt form. You get predictable melt behavior, reduced furnace downtime, and excellent fluidity for complex castings. Plus, its tight spec control ensures minimal scrap and high casting integrity—every time. It’s drop-in ready, efficient, and technically proven.
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.
eccomelt356.2 doesn’t just cut costs—it simplifies your supply chain. Shipped in compact, bottom discharge custom sacks with no need for sorting, it reduces handling time and storage space. Its high density means more metal per load, lowering freight costs and optimizing warehouse efficiency. Plus, with consistent sizing and spec-controlled batches, it integrates seamlessly into your existing melt schedule—no surprises, no rework. Reliable supply, fewer touchpoints, and real savings at every stage of logistics.
With multiple plants throughout the North America and a warehouse in Europe, Eccomelt is ready to service our international customers on a moments notice.
Our product creates minimal dross when melting and allows for high density to maximize furnace and transportation efficiency.


eccomelt356.2 offers a direct path to lower costs and higher margins. Compared to primary A356.2 ingot, it reduces energy consumption by 30%, leading to savings per tonne of up to $300 (once CBAM is in place with projected carbon prices of today) not to mention lower less furnace wear and tear. It’s delivered ready to melt, with tight spec control and reliable logistics, meaning fewer surprises and better planning. Over a year, that’s tens—or even hundreds—of thousands in operational savings. If you’re looking for fast ROI from a proven material, eccomelt256.2 is the right move
