HISTORY
Primrose Alloys was founded by Craig Yarde and Bob Wren, who first met in 2000 during a sourcing trip to China and Taiwan for aluminum and stainless steel products. Bob’s extensive expertise in stainless and alloy products, combined with Craig’s family background in aluminum distribution in New England, fostered a strong personal and professional bond. Over the next six years, their collaboration paved the way for business success. In 2007, following the sale of Craig’s family business, the duo launched Primrose Alloys. They structured the company to leverage their strengths: Bob led the stainless, carbon, and alloy developments, while Craig focused on aluminum automotive and aerospace product lines. This structure continues to serve as the backbone of the company.
