PROGRESS IS OUR BUSINESS

Kataman is a global leader in critical, industrial, and recycled metals, bridging the gap between supply and demand across the world. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, and trading in over 50 countries, we connect regions of abundance with areas of high demand.

A History of Innovation

Founded in 1993, Kataman began as a nonferrous metals trading company focused on recycled metals. Building on our experience and global network, we expanded into ferrous metals and, in 2013, were instrumental in the development and launch of the CME ferrous futures contract. Now, as part of Korea Zinc, we’re paving the way for the production of copper cathode made entirely from recycled copper – advancing the world’s transition to a low-carbon economy and enabling a more sustainable planet.

KATAMAN IS A CARBON NEUTRAL COMPANY, DEDICATED TO A SUSTAINABLE, CIRCULAR ECONOMY
