Indium Corporation®, an industry leader in innovative materials solutions for semiconductor packaging and electronics assembly, announced that it has executed a long-term offtake framework agreement with Flash Metals USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Metallium Limited (MTM), for the supply of critical metals recovered using Metallium’s Flash Joule Heating technology. This partnership furthers Indium Corporation’s position as a major provider and processor of essential metals that support a healthy domestic supply chain.

Under the agreement, Indium Corporation will purchase metals recovered from secondary raw materials and electronic scrap through Flash Metals USA’s recycling operations, including gallium, germanium, copper, tin, gold, and indium. The agreement, with an initial term of 10 years with automatic five-year renewal options, establishes a robust and diversified supply chain for U.S.-based recovery of strategic metals.

“We are proud to be strengthening critical mineral supply chains,” Ross Berntson, President and CEO of Indium Corporation, said. “Through our work with MTM Flash Metals, Indium Corporation is helping unlock the largely untapped potential of critical materials from secondary feedstocks. 

“This initiative supports resilient, U.S.-based supply chains for metals essential to advanced technologies. It represents an important step in Indium Corporation’s strategy to become the supply leader for these materials—combining responsible sourcing, advanced processing, and global manufacturing expertise to secure long-term supply for our customers.”

This sourcing and recycling agreement highlights Indium Corporation’s commitment to sustainability in the U.S. and around the world. The company operates its own metals and compounds reclaim and recycle program that provides specialized recycling services for the electronics, semiconductor, display, battery, and other specialty material industries.
