HISTORY

Trans-Global Resources, Inc. is the successor of the Fred H. Lenway Company (1940-1973), Keystone Lenway, subsidiary of Keystone Resources (1973-1979) and AMMC California, subsidiary of Associated Metals and Minerals Corporation (1979-1983). Thomas W. Nelson, President and Chief Executive Office, is the principal with extensive experience and expertise in International Metals and Minerals Trading.

Michael Nelson, founder of TGRI (1924-2011), joined Fred H. Lenway as Executive Vice President in 1958. Mr. Lenway's death in 1973 necessitated the sale of the company to the above mentioned companies from 1973-1983. In 1983, after serving as president of the existing subsidiaries, Michael Nelson purchased the company from Associated Metals and Minerals. Throughout the years, the basic activities are the same, with added growth. Thomas W. Nelson joined his father, Mike as a Sales Representative in 1973, keeping the same title with Keystone Resources. In 1979, Associated Metals and Minerals Corporation transferred him to NY, where he covered the Eastern Part of North America in Ferro-Alloy Sales. Returning to the West Coast in 1983, Tom became Executive Vice President under his father, taking over upon Mike's passing.
