Introduction

The history of Metalloglobus traces back over 100 years – Manfréd Weiss founded the company in 1923 to provide the supply of raw materials for his metal factory. After 1945, the company became state-owned and was among the largest trading companies in the country. The foundry unit, which is the predecessor of Metalloglobus Fémöntő Kft., was established in 1968. From the 70s soft solders production has taken place at the company.

The company was privatised after the change of regime, and then organized into different business units of Metalloglobus. Metalloglobus Fémöntő Kft engaged in the production and trade of tin-lead alloys and operated as the only manufacturing plant of the group. It was bought out of the Metalloglobus Group in 2004 by the current owner Mihály Vlaszák, who carried on the company's traditions.

Our company has a strong market position, excellent network and vast experience in the production and trade of tin and lead products. In Hungary, we have unique production capacity (casting machines, melting cauldrons and furnaces, drawing and press machines) and knowledge in the field of production of soldering tin, lead wires and tin lead alloys. Additionally, due to our manufacturing capabilities, we can also undertake the production of more complex lead castings. Our focus on continuous development and increased production capacity makes it possible to fulfil larger orders quickly and with high quality. This is demonstrated by our two automatic press lines purchased and installed in the past three years, where production has also been improved by the acquisition of robots and cranes.
