The son of middle class Quaker parents in Colonial Philadelphia, Nathan Trotter was born into a family of craftsmen and entrepreneurs. His uncles and brothers were well-respected cabinetmakers, merchants, and bankers. Nathan founded his namesake metal-importing company on the banks of the Delaware River in 1789, providing tin to Colonial craftspeople who turned it into pewter. His attention to detail, courteous service, and dependability earned his company both business and respect.

In the 200 years since its founding, Nathan Trotter & Co., Inc. has evolved into the largest manufacturer of tin and tin alloys in North America. Today the company remains committed to preserving our legacy as the oldest continuously-operated metals manufacturer in the US. In addition to our reputation for tin, we have become a leading source of lead alloys and other non-ferrous metals, with a growing metal recycling program and a steadfast tradition of exceptional customer service, industry-leading metallurgical expertise, and competitive pricing.
 
 
We are glad to announce a second 300-ton extrusion press has been brought on-line at the Coatesville facility. Designed for extrusion of pure tin and tin alloys ranging from .25” to 5” diameter/width this machine will add redundancy to our process and allow for faster turn-around times.
Long committed to bringing our customers value for their dollar, Nathan Trotter offers metal reclaim and conversion programs that stress the importance of properly handling and valuing your scrap. We can recommend a program that is best suited for the dross, spent anodes, slag, turnings or off-spec. ingot that you generate.
