Experience

A variety of experience makes the real difference.

Metals
Even within the metals industry, factors vary from company to company, product to product, and valuation to valuation, which is why a breadth of experience is important. No other appraisal firm can claim as wide a range of inventory and machinery and equipment appraisal experience as Sector3, from ore mining to steel mills, from aluminum smelters to service centers, from ferroalloy and superalloy producers to pipe and tube manufacturers.

In addition to working extensively in Canada and Europe, Sector3 professionals have appraised more than 80% of the major U.S. metals producers, accurately discerning the value of more than $8 billion worth of inventory and machinery and equipment. This includes:

Over 85% of the largest integrated steel producers and minimills in the U.S.;
Over three-fourths of the domestic superalloy industry;
Prime and secondary aluminum producers;
The largest ferrous and nonferrous metal service centers in North America;
Scrap dealers and traders;
