About Us
With over 20 years of industry experience, we pride ourselves on being professional, responsible, and reliable partners in the recycling industry.
Expanding Our Global Network to Serve You Better
Founded in Hong Kong in 2005, Chun Wah Metal Trading Company Ltd began as a specialist in recycling cables, transformers, and copper. We collect, process, clean, and compress these materials into high-quality blocks, which are supplied to our partner Chinese smelting factory to be melted and reshaped into new cable products. Initially serving the local market, we have since expanded our capabilities to include government projects, such as recycling scrap cable wires from railway infrastructure.
In 2009, we established Far East Metal Trading Company Ltd in Trinidad & Tobago, gaining international exposure and expertise in handling complex recycling projects — from used scrap oil tubes for the oil and gas industry to giant transformers from electricity companies and mixed scrap cable wires from telecommunications providers.
In 2025, we launched Far East Metal Trading SRL in Buenos Aires, Argentina, further strengthening our global network. Equipped with advanced imported machinery, this branch processes and reforms scrap copper from multiple sources into production-grade copper material for smelters worldwide. Across all regions, we maintain strong relationships with global suppliers and ensure full compliance with local and international regulations, reflecting our commitment to integrity, sustainability, and responsible trade.
Our Vision
At Chun Wah Metal Trading Company, we envision a world where no scrap is wasted — where every discarded piece of metal finds new life through innovation, responsibility, and purpose. With cutting-edge machinery, deep industry knowledge, and a firm commitment to environmental standards, we transform industrial byproducts into resources that power tomorrow’s cities, technologies, and communities.
Driven by the belief that recycling is not just a service, but a duty to our planet, we are forging a cleaner, more sustainable future — one load of scrap at a time. For us, every spark of metal reclaimed is a step toward a greener legacy for the next generation.
Giant Transformer Project
One of our most challenging projects involved dismantling a large transformer from St. Vincent Electricity Services Limited. The main difficulty lay in safely transferring the transformer, handling the hazardous oil, separating different metals, and ensuring all materials were processed in an environmentally responsible manner.
Our team began by carefully extracting and containing the oil, which was then sent to a licensed treatment facility for proper re-finery. An oxygen cutting equipment was selected to efficiently open the stainless steel casing to access the inner copper coils. These coils, previously soaked in oil, were further processed to remove residual oil before recycling. The entire project completed in one week, showcasing our ability to deliver professional, eco-conscious, and efficient solutions, even for the most complex jobs.
