The Medical Device industry is built on centuries of research, innovation, and uncompromising quality—woven into the very fabric of human progress. Our earliest ancestors fashioned medical tools from stone, bronze, and iron. Hippocrates recorded proven practices, standards, and instruments that would be passed down, refined, and perfected over generations.
In more recent centuries, the invention of the scalpel, stethoscope, and forceps—combined with the use of anesthesia—revolutionized surgery. And in just the last hundred years, the integration of electronics, advanced imaging systems, and minimally invasive techniques has transformed patient care, dramatically improving recovery times and quality of life for millions worldwide.
Precious metal recycling shares a similar journey of innovation and craftsmanship. Early civilizations melted and repurposed metals for currency, jewelry, and symbols of prosperity—often reworking older artifacts into new creations. As demand grew, so did the need for repurposed metal, driving advancements in thermal and chemical recovery methods. With the industrial revolution and the electronic age came an unprecedented appetite for precious metals, and with it, a pressing need for environmentally responsible recycling solutions.
For over six decades, Metallix Refining has carried forward this legacy of innovation—pioneering proprietary technologies, equipment, and processes to recover the maximum precious metal value from manufacturing scrap and waste, while minimizing environmental impact.
We are proud to partner with the Medical Device industry as you continue to break new ground, save lives, and write the next chapter of history.
