TiVac Shuts UK FeTi: Energy Costs Bite, Metraco Shifts Supply to Estonia | SUPER METAL PRICE

TiVac Alloys has stopped ferro-titanium (FeTi) production in Sheffield and entered voluntary liquidation after sustained price declines and high electricity costs eroded margins. The company had two UK sites with nameplate capacity of about 1,500 t/month but was operating closer to 500–600 t/month ahead of closure. The move tightens local scrap demand and raises short-term questions for European FeTi supply. However, Metraco’s FE Mottram plans to fulfill UK contracts by drawing on inventories and shifting output to its Ti Q plant in Estonia—listed at roughly 600 t/month with room to scale. Westbrook Light Alloys expects to cover obligations from stock while it evaluates next steps. With FeTi prices near multi-year lows and power costs elevated, Europe may rely on idle capacity and inventories to stabilize availability. This update highlights the operational fallout, likely effects on titanium scrap flows, and how contract deliveries pivot from the UK to the Baltics. Stay updated with SuperMetalPrice.
