J. E. Gross & Co., Inc.
Metals Management Services

OUR BUSINESS IS MANAGING METALS - As a management consulting firm focused exclusively on the metals industry, our objectives are to identify opportunities for clients to reduce the cost of new metal, improve the value received for scrap, manage price risk exposure and strengthen administrative and financial controls.
Once key areas are identified, we will design and develop specific plans and strategies, along with performance measurements, and will work with you to implement these programs.
THE EXPERIENCE YOU NEED - Prior to forming his own consulting company in 1987, John Gross had been employed by worldwide leaders in every sector of the metals business. Examples include Amax Inc. and Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting. On the consumer side, he played a key role with BICC Cables Corporation, now General Cable, as Vice President of Strategic Metals for their North American operations. Valuable merchant experience was acquired through his association with Ametalco and Amax Copper, and as a futures broker with Johnson Matthey & Wallace, he specialized in metals on the New York Commodity Exchange and London Metal Exchange. Thus, over the past thirty years, he has developed a solid understanding of the industry based on first hand experience.
WHO MAY BENEFIT – Typically, client companies are directly involved in metals such as producers or consumers, or indirectly dependent upon metals in the manufacturing process, or providing services such as telephone, transit, and utility companies. Other examples include construction and chemical companies; accounting, law firms and lending institutions, as well as other consulting companies who require a highly specialized knowledge of the metals industry, not usually found within their organizations.
A PERSONAL APPROACH – We believe a ‘hands on’ approach works best. We meet personally with clients to gain a full understanding of their needs and objectives. By developing a sound working relationship, we will provide the knowledge, experience, resourcefulness and creativity to our clients, which has been the foundation of our success with companies ranging from the smallest job shop to the largest multi-national organizations.
Whether it is a stand alone project, short term support, or providing ongoing assistance, our service is extremely flexible and can be designed to meet your specific requirements. There is never a fee to discuss how we may be of service to your organization, and our competitive compensation is predicated solely upon delivering results.
