Investment Highlights
Subsidiaries
Metal Scrap Recycling
Each of the five subsidiaries of China Armco Metals plays a specific role in sourcing, importing, processing and distributing quality, environmentally friendly recycled scrap steel, as well as metal and non-ferrous metal ore. Together, these subsidiaries share Armco Metals’ corporate goal of becoming the largest recycled scrap steel provider in China, providing the country’s steel production industry with sustainable, responsible solutions to its material needs.
Armet (Lianyungang) Holdings, Inc.
Still early in the research and development phase, Armet (Lianyungang) Holdings, Inc. will focus solely on automotive scrap steel recycling. The automotive industry is one of the largest sources of scrap steel, and Armco Metals recognizes the potential this market has for meeting China’s steel production needs.
Currently, Armet Holdings is researching efficient, effective processing methods and equipment in order to deliver a high-quality, environmentally friendly product to steel mills and foundries throughout the country. Armet Holdings is located in Lianyungang, Jiangsu province, which offers the company significant advantages, including an exceptional transportation infrastructure and government energy and pollution reduction incentives.

In addition to the logistical benefits, the China Iron and Steel Association and the China Association of Metal Scrap Utilization have specified Lianyungang as the waste iron and scrap steel recycling processing pilot region for China. This gives Armco Renewable Metals additional advantages in terms government incentives to help the nation achieve its scrap metal consumption and energy and pollution reduction goals.

(formerly Armco & Metawise (H.K.), Ltd.) focuses on meeting the needs of China’s steel production industry through the sale of recycled scrap steel, as well as the import and distribution of metal and nonferrous metal ore. As a foreign company registered in Hong Kong, Armco Metals International takes advantage of the area’s highly developed, convenient finance and trading services, which creates greater opportunities for China Armco Metals as a whole.
Armco Metals International’s high-quality, environmentally friendly scrap steel is sourced and processed by another of Armco Metals’ subsidiaries, Armet (Lianyungang) Renewable Resource Co., Ltd. However, utilizing its experience and well-established relationships within the market, Armco Metals International is also able to source iron ore, chrome ore, nickel ore, manganese ore, and other nonferrous metals from ore-rich countries such as Australia, U.S., South Korean, Brazil and India at an attractive price point for consumers.
Henan Armco & Metawise Trading Co., Ltd.
Henan Armco & Metawise Trading Co., Ltd. was founded in June 2002 and is located in the capital of Henan province, Zhengzhou. Henan Armco & Metawise is mainly responsible for developing and maintaining Armco Metals’ mainland sales network for recycled scrap steel.

This subsidiary of Armco Metals also engages in the import and distribution of metal and non-ferrous metal ores, including iron ore, chrome ore, nickel ore and manganese ore.

Armco Metals (Shanghai) Holding, Ltd.
Armco Metals (Shanghai) Holding, Ltd. was founded in July 2010. The company is located in Shanghai, China's financial center. As the head office in China for the U.S.-based Armco Metals, Armco Metals Shanghai is mainly responsible for capital investments, finance and accounting, and cash flow management for the corporation. In addition, Armco Metals Shanghai manages the core businesses of the other four subsidiaries, which includes international trading of ore products with the company’s suppliers, as well as the sourcing and distribution of scrap steel for reprocessing.

Products and Development
For the foreseeable future, steel will remain the most effective means of construction for numerous industries. Using recycled scrap steel is a responsible, efficient and sustainable means for meeting this demand. China Armco Metals is dedicated to finding the most efficient, environmentally friendly solutions to China’s steel industry demands, allowing the country to continue its growth while helping to slow climate change.
China Armco Metals believes in taking a responsible approach to steel production. In addition to its environmentally responsible business practices, the company has aligned its product offerings with this goal in mind, so that the company and its customers can share in a cleaner, more environmentally sound future. Armco Metals is one of the leading recycled scrap steel sales and distribution companies in China.
Armco Metals: Recycled Scrap Steel
Armco Metals is dedicated to providing sustainable, efficient options for steel production. Companies that choose to utilize recycled scrap in their steel production incur numerous benefits, including using up to 60% less energy and reducing air and water pollution by 86% and 76%, respectively. The energy reduction alone translates to significant savings for steel producers annually.
In order to address customer demands for more responsible material choices - and in alignment with the Chinese government’s green initiatives - Armco Metals has created its own recycling facility, capable of producing cost-effective, environmentally friendly solutions for the country’s steel production needs.
The company’s Armco (Lianyungang) Renewable Metals subsidiary operates a state-of-the-art facility equipped with a Texas Shredder Lindeman System, one of the most advanced recycling systems in the world. This advanced system automatically shreds, sorts and separates the recycled scrap steel, efficiently processing the highest-quality material.
While Armco Renewable Metals is currently capable of processing 1 million metric tons of scrap metal annually, Armco Metals is working to develop its Armet (Lianyungang) Holdings subsidiary, which will add to this capability and focus solely on automotive scrap steel recycling to capitalize on this huge source of scrap steel.
Armco Metals: Metal and Non-Ferrous Metal Ore
As the largest steel producer in the world, China’s steel industry is in constant need of quality metal ores to meet production demands. Armco Metals has more than 10 years of experience sourcing and distributing metal and non-ferrous metal ore, including:
Armco Metals has well-developed relationships with international metal suppliers in ore-rich countries, allowing the company to obtain favorable pricing for its customers at rates unavailable through direct market importing or spot markets. Committed to providing quality, Armco Metals sends its own staff on location to review the supplier’s operations and verify the ore quality.
In addition, Armco Metals has established a proven transportation system utilizing the country’s existing infrastructure, including three deep-sea ports, railway systems, and highway systems, to improve the time, costs and distance capabilities associated with ore distribution.
Strategy & Mission
Armco Metals for more than a decade has provided metal and non-ferrous metal ore sales and distribution solutions to companies in China’s growing steel production industry. Leveraging an extensive international sales channel, the company has aligned itself with the push for alternative, sustainable options for steel production.
One of the Chinese government’s green initiatives calls for the consumption of recycled scrap steel to increase from 15% in 2010 to 20% by 2015. Even now, the fragment recycling market in China is only capable of meeting 60% of the total recycled scrap steel demand.
Recognizing the potential, Armco Metals has aligned itself with this policy and created its Armet Renewable Resources subsidiary to take advantage of the situation. In addition, Armco Metals has plans to expand this operation over time, growing the current Armet Renewable Resource facility’s capacity to 2 million metric tons annually, as well as begin operations at Armet (Lianyungang) Holdings.
By utilizing its existing sales and distribution network, Armco Metals has already established more than 100 relationships with steel companies that will be looking to increase the amount of recycled steel scrap they utilize in their steel production. This helps to position Armco Metals to become the largest, most efficient recycled scrap steel producer in the country, paving the way for further growth and revenue.
