Lonestar Trading US
Houston, TX — US & India

Complex Metals.
Real Ownership.

We trade what others can’t place easily. Superalloy and specialty scrap from the US to Indian recovery plants. Engineered tool steel and forgings from India to US buyers.

One company. One point of accountability. Chemistry validated, acceptance aligned, handover clean.

Our Approach

Not a Broker. Not a Commodity Trader.
We Own the Execution.

Complex metals fail at handoffs. We stay accountable across the entire lane — so nothing falls through the cracks between parties.

Material Logic First

Chemistry and acceptance criteria aligned before anything moves. No assumptions. No dock surprises.

Sequenced Execution

Sourcing, quality, processing, logistics — coordinated end-to-end by one owner instead of disconnected silos.

Clean Handover

Issues caught early. Material arrives matching expectations. Documentation reflects reality.

The core idea: in complex metal trades, value isn’t lost on price. It’s lost when nobody owns the full lane and problems surface too late.
Two Trade Lanes

Different Materials, Different Risks.
Same Ownership Discipline.

One execution model governs both directions. The material logic and handover points change; the accountability doesn’t.

US → India: Complex Scrap

Alloy & Metal-Bearing Scrap for Indian Recovery
  • Material identification & chemistry validation
  • Buyer-side acceptance alignment before shipment
  • Segregation and preparation oversight
  • Clean handover — accountability past the dock

India → US: Engineered Steel

Tool & Die Steel, Forgings & Finished Components
  • Processing intent alignment beyond grade names
  • Manufacturing coordination — forging, heat treatment, testing
  • Quality & documentation aligned to buyer acceptance
  • Application-ready delivery — not rework at receipt
Why Ownership Wins

Simple Flows Work With Trading.
Complex Metals Need Ownership.

Fragmented responsibility is fine for commodity grades. For complex chemistry and critical specs, it creates disputes, rework, and rejection.

Traditional Trading

  • Price-driven, movement-focused
  • Responsibility split across parties
  • Issues found at receipt
  • Chemistry treated as a footnote
  • Accountability ends at shipment

Ownership-Led Execution ★

  • Outcome-driven, handover-focused
  • Single owner across the lane
  • Issues caught before they travel
  • Chemistry is the starting point
  • Accountability through clean handover

Let’s Review It Together.

A focused discussion on one lane — material logic, risk points, handoffs — then a clear fit-or-no-fit determination. Not a sales pitch.
