About Westwin Elements Inc
Westwin is America's Only Major Nickel Refinery solving America's critical minerals
crisis – a crisis of foreign dependency, ESG violations, and forecasted market deficits.
Currently, no commercial nickel refining capacity exists in the U.S., which means the U.S. relies almost entirely on imports for its own nickel consumption. Therefore, developing refining capacities is critical to reduce import dependency, minimize geopolitical risk, and establish a domestic supply chain.
Westwin solves this issue by localizing nickel refining capacity and mitigating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) violations within the global critical mineral supply chain. The company is dedicated to upholding ESG standards, ensuring ethical sourcing, traceability, and a more equitable profit distribution across all supply chain stakeholders.
As global and domestic demand for nickel and critical minerals continues to rise, Westwin is strategically positioned to supply Class 1 nickel products and address forecasted market deficits.
