Turning Metal Scraps into Global Solutions by pioneering innovative recycling practices for non-ferrous metals.

About Us
A Tradition in Recycling and Vision for Tomorrow

A Tradition in Recycling and Vision for Tomorrow The heart of Valkam beats with a rich legacy. Our founder, Javier Valenzuela, stems from a lineage where metal recycling isn't just a profession but a way of life. In the transformative 1970s, Javier's father took the visionary step of establishing a copper sulfate factory. Uniquely, he pioneered the use of copper scrap as the primary raw material, shunning the traditional approach of using laboratory-grade copper sourced from mines. This innovative shift not only demonstrated sustainability but also economic intelligence.

Javier, harnessing the knowledge passed down from his father, delved even deeper into metal recycling. He championed a radical idea, urging industries, especially foundries, to transition from using laboratory-grade metals to those derived from recycling. This initiative not only significantly reduced the environmental impact but also drove industries toward more sustainable practices. Moreover, by advocating for the use of recycled metals, Javier assisted these companies in achieving better profit margins, proving that sustainability and profitability could walk hand in hand.

Growing amidst the clang and clatter of metal, he recognized its invaluable potential, turning these insights into an influential journey. By the time the new millennium dawned, Valkam had ascended as one of the predominant scrap metal exporters. With a record of over 1000 shipments annually by the mid-2000s, our history is punctuated with milestones of dedication and innovation.
