USM Charter Alloys

USM Charter Alloys is a leading Chicago specialty processor of Stainless Steels, High Temperature Alloys, Super Alloys and suppliers of raw materials and melt additives. USMCA recycles industrially generated specialty metals, from hi-temp alloy scrap to stainless steel, tungsten carbide, molybdenum, nickel, titanium and cobalt alloys.

In 2015, USM acquired Charter Trading LTD., adding extensive alloy recycling capability to the ferrous, non-ferrous, copper, electronic and composite scrap recycling that was being conducted. The entire Charter Trading workforce joined USM Charter Alloys, enabling it to continue Charter Trading’s long-standing tradition of excellent customer service and quality. By leveraging the synergies that exist between the two companies to expand USM’s already robust stainless and alloy business to another level, enabled us to continue to provide optimum pricing and complete solutions to our customers. USM gained Charter’s more than 25 years’ experience in providing specialty nickel alloys to foundries and manufacturers throughout the United States.
