COMPANY HISTORY
The origin of the company started in 1983 when the business was originally a marketing unit of a large multinational chemical company which produced binders for the foundry industry. The management and staff of ASI has largely remained unchanged during the ensuing 16 years, changing only in ownership and company name.
ASI has longstanding affiliations with major producers of metals and alloys as well as major trading companies. ASI manufactures specialty high performance inoculants, low silicon nodularizers, desulfurizing briquettes, in-mold inoculant tablets, filter insert inoculants, specialty deoxidizers, ferroalumimum, iron aluminum hardners and a complete line of cupola and electric furnace fluxes.
