Copper, Brass and Bronze are among the most versatile and reliable copper-based alloys. Known for their strength, resistance to corrosion, and excellent machinability, they are used across a wide range of industries – from construction and marine applications to power transmission, furniture, and mechanical engineering.

At MTT, we supply a carefully selected range of brass and bronze products to meet the diverse needs of South Africa’s industrial and technical sectors. With decades of experience in the non-ferrous industry, we provide materials that combine precision, reliability, and performance.

Our Copper, Brass & Bronze Product Range

MTT offers three complementary product groups that cover a wide field of applications:

Copper Products

rolled and extruded products, including sheets, strips, bars, tubing, wire, and alloys

Brass Products

rolled and extruded products, including sheets, strips, bars, tubing, wire, and alloys

Bronze Products

bars, sheets, tubes, and high-performance bearing alloys for heavy-duty use

Copper Products

Copper is valued for it’s high conductivity in the electric and electronic industry but also for it’s aesthetics and longevity in the building, signage and furniture industries.

It’s also extensively used for heat-exchangers, fridges and other cooling and heating applications.
