At Howco, we are incredibly proud to be the largest processor and distributor of nickel, stainless and low alloy products for the global energy industry.

We are known in the industry to be the market leaders and last year we reached an important milestone and celebrated our 40 year anniversary. From our humble roots as a small Scottish stockholder, we have grown, developed, diversified and constantly adapted to the ever-changing needs of our customers and industry to become who we are today, your first choice for metals and manufacturing.

A lot has changed over the years, but our promise remains the same, a commitment to excellence and dedication to all our
customers. And that promise has worked well for us, the Howco of today now spans the globe across 4 regions with 9 supply
facilities in six countries employing over 650 people. We are everywhere you are.

We now not only supply raw material solutions and semifinished products, we also process highly engineered full turnkey components to meet the complex and demanding needs of our customers. We have invested in our own additive manufacturing facility, ensuring we are constantly adapting to shifting market needs and embracing new technologies, securing continuity of supply for the next 40 years and beyond.

With 4 decades of experience in the oil, gas, chemical processing and energy sectors, our technical support has grown in line with the industry. We take immense pride in our market knowledge, our quality standards and our technical expertise which in conjunction with our continued focus on HSSE gives our customers the re-assurance they require. In critical conditions and extremely demanding situations, expectations are exceptional, there is no place for compromised quality. At Howco we work to one standard and one standard alone, the highest.

We operate at every level of your supply chain from inventory management to fully integrated supply chain solutions and full turnkey manufacturing solutions. Supported by our parent company The Sumitomo Corporation, Howco has the power and strength to invest in new areas of growth while keeping true to our origins. It goes without saying that years of experience in the management of metal supply for major OEMS’s and building strong relationships with our partner mills and forges gives our customers an uninterrupted service minimising disruption and downtime.

And whilst the energy sector may still be in the midst of unprecedented change, we are looking forward to continuing to be a global market leader, offering the best solutions to our customers and doing all we can to support the energy transition. Howco, proud of the past, excited for the future.
