What We Do

Full-Service Aluminum & Metal Processing Equipment Brokerage.

H.E. Phipps Co. Inc. buys, sells, and sources aluminum, steel, copper, brass, and lead processing equipment — from a single roll to a complete rolling mill or coil coating line. Since 1987, we've paired idle equipment with the plants that need it in more than 30 countries worldwide.
