In the world of international metal trading, electric motor scrap is a hidden gem. Loaded with copper, aluminium, and steel, these units offer significant value when recycled—and even more when traded globally.
At Tiger International Limited, we specialise in the sourcing, processing, and export of electric motor scrap from the UK to international buyers. Whether you’re a scrap yard, recycling facility, or industrial operation, we help turn motor waste into global profit.
What Makes Electric Motors Valuable in the Scrap Trade?
Electric motors are made up of multiple recyclable materials:
- Copper windings – High conductivity and excellent resale value.
- Aluminium – Lightweight and profitable for reprocessing.
- Steel & iron – Recovered from the rotor and housing.
- Cast aluminium or iron shells – Easily separated and reused.
Depending on the type and grade, motor scrap can yield a high return per tonne—especially when exported to regions where raw materials are in constant demand.
From Yard to Container – Our Export Process
At Tiger International, we don’t just recycle. We trade and ship electric motor scrap globally through efficient, scalable logistics:
- Bulk Purchasing
We buy electric motors from UK-based yards, recyclers, factories, and clearance contractors. - Sorting & Grading
Motors are categorised into copper-rich, aluminium-based, and mixed-grade batches to maximise returns. - Container Loading
We prepare 20ft and 40ft containers for export, optimised for weight, customs, and international shipping standards. - Shipping to Global Markets
We ship directly to India, Pakistan, UAE, Turkey, Egypt, and Southeast Asia, using established freight routes and free zone facilities for efficient customs clearance.
Why Export Electric Motor Scrap?
Exporting scrap motors can significantly increase profitability due to:
- Higher demand in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
- Better margins on copper recovery in international markets.
- Currency advantage when trading in USD or EUR.
- Scalable logistics with full-container load (FCL) shipping.
We help clients leverage these benefits by offering full support in container sourcing, freight booking, customs documentation, and overseas buyer connections.
