Thalheimer purchases Mega Metals

Thalheimer Bros., an ISO certified specialty metal processing company based in Philadelphia, has acquired Phoenix-based Mega Metals, a global leader in recycling titanium turnings and solids.

Thalheimer, which was founded in 1939, is a nonferrous scrap metal processor of brass, copper, nickel alloy, cupro, monel, hi-temp alloys and stainless steels. The company processes mixed loads of alloyed and nonalloyed scrap to produce complex blends with specific chemical properties required by its customers, which include foundries, refiners and mills.

Over the last several years, Thalheimer has entered the aerospace industry by processing hi-temp alloys, and the addition of Mega Metals and its processing center in Phoenix further expands the company’s expertise into the titanium market.

Founded in 1985 by Robert Megdal, Mega Metals was led by a team with deep expertise in titanium metals, according to a news release from Thalheimer. These team members will become a key part of the Thalheimer leadership team. Mega Metals will operate as a division within Thalheimer and will maintain operations from its Phoenix location with no changes to its leadership, according to Thalheimer.

Rich Reiner, CEO of Thalheimer, says, “Mega Metals is a leading specialty recycler in the titanium market with an unparalleled reputation in the industry based on its deep technical expertise and best-in-class customer service. We look forward to working with David Megdal and his team to continue to drive growth in Titanium recycling.”

Megdal, vice president of Mega Metals, says, “We look forward to partnering with the team at Thalheimer to continue to make Mega Metals the best source for titanium products. I’m excited to work with Rich and his team to continue to grow Mega Metal’s leadership in the Titanium market.”
