Montecchi

What Montecchi does

Montecchi S.p.A. Società Benefit is an Italian privately-held, family-led metal scrap recycling company founded in 1977 and headquartered in Felegara di Medesano, Province of Parma. It operates from a 30,000 m² integrated facility (warehouse, covered area, offices, and equipped yard) and is registered as a Società Benefit, balancing profit with explicit social and environmental objectives. The company's core business is the purchase, processing, and resale of ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap and alloys, with End-of-Waste (EOW) conformity under EU Reg. 333/2011 and 715/2013. Since 2007, it has also held WEEE (RAEE) treatment authorization, placing it among the first facilities in Parma province to offer these services.

Montecchi's service portfolio spans online pickup booking via a dedicated web platform, free container rental (with CE-compliant hydraulic covers) of varying capacities, and transport and intermediation services for non-hazardous and hazardous waste. It serves primarily industrial and manufacturing clients (including steel producers such as Feralpi Group), with secondary exposure to construction-sector generators of metal scrap and public-sector environmental initiatives. The firm holds a layered compliance stack — ISO 14001:2015, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, ISO 14064-1:2019, UNI/PDR 125:2022 (gender equality), AGCM Rating di Legalità, and EU End-of-Waste certifications — alongside a KilometroVerdeParma reforestation partnership and biodiversity projects (company forest and apiary). It published its first Sustainability Report covering fiscal year 2023 in October 2024.

Revenue is generated principally through transaction-based purchase-and-resale of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap (commodity-spread economics), supplemented by professional-services revenue from transport and waste intermediation; container rental is provided free of charge as a customer-acquisition tool. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company operates in a sales-led B2B motion with geographic focus on Emilia-Romagna and broader Italy, with no external investment, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no subsidiaries disclosed in the available data.
