What MG Recycling does

MG Recycling SRL is an Italian designer and manufacturer of industrial recycling plants specialized in the recovery of ferrous and non-ferrous materials — primarily copper and aluminum — from differentiated waste streams. Founded in 1995 in Finale Emilia as a family business by Guido Blo, who remains President, the company relocated to its current headquarters in Bondeno, Ferrara in 2007 and operates as a privately held Italian SRL. Its product portfolio spans compact machines (MONSTER EVO, MG 150, MG 220, MG 220 VZT, MG 380 VZT, MG 610 VZT) with throughput from 200 kg/h up to 2,000 kg/h, complete turnkey systems combining compact machines with TR-series shredders (TR 600, TR 800, TR 1200), optional add-on modules (copper dust recovery, big-bag plastic discharge, dedicated Cu/Al separation), fully customized Matrix engineered plants up to 3,000 kg/h, and a full component catalog including shredders, granulators, turbo pulverizers, Zig Zag air separators, vibrating sieves, and conveyor belts.

The company's core technology is anchored in patented VZT (Vacuum Zigzag Technology) systems and proprietary electronically adjustable air-separation units, supplemented by inverter-controlled TR-series shredders and turbo pulverizers that round material to improve downstream separation. All design, R&D, and manufacturing are performed at the Bondeno facility under a "Made in Italy" positioning, with claimed material recovery rates up to 99.9%. Revenue is generated principally through hardware sales of plants and components, complemented by consulting/design services and installation and ongoing technical assistance delivered either directly by MG Recycling's commercial and technical team or through a worldwide qualified dealer network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct customer contact.

MG Recycling serves four customer segments — metal recycling companies (primary), automotive recyclers processing car fluff, industrial waste producers seeking on-site metal recovery, and WEEE processors handling electronic waste — across Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and Portugal, with a claimed global distribution footprint. Commercial motion is sales-led, combining direct engagement, a six-language website (Italian, English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese), and recurring booth presence at major international trade shows including IFAT Munich (confirmed for 2026), ECOMONDO, RWM Birmingham, SRR Madrid, Poleco Poznan, and Eco Waste Abu Dhabi.

Core offering

MG Recycling designs, manufactures, and sells industrial recycling plants and machinery for the recovery of ferrous and non-ferrous materials — primarily copper and aluminum — from cables, radiators, electronic boards, WEEE, and car fluff. Its portfolio spans compact standalone machines (200–2000 kg/h), complete integrated systems combining compact machines with TR-series shredders, optional add-on modules (copper dust recovery, plastic discharge, copper/aluminum separation), and bespoke Matrix customized plants scalable up to 3000 kg/h. All equipment is engineered and built in Italy at the Bondeno facility.

Product overview

MG Recycling is a global leader in designing and manufacturing plants for the recovery of copper, aluminum, and other valuable materials from sorted waste. The product portfolio is organized into four main categories: (1) Compact machines (Macchine compatte) including MONSTER EVO, MG 150, MG 220, MG 220 VZT, MG 380 VZT, and MG 610 VZT - standalone units with processing capacities from 500 kg/h up to 2000 kg/h; (2) Complete systems (Sistemi completi) combining compact machines with TR series shredders (TR 600, TR 800, TR 1200) for fully automated processing; (3) Optional systems including copper dust recovery, plastic big bag discharge, and copper-aluminum separation; (4) Customized plants (Impianti personalizzati/Matrix) with variable capacity from 200 kg/h to 2000/3000 kg/h. The component lineup includes shredders/pre-crushers, granulators, pulverizers/turbos, air separators (Zig Zag and air separators), vibrating sieves, and conveyor belts. All products achieve up to 99% material recovery and are designed and manufactured entirely in Italy at the Bondeno facility.

Direct peers

• Eldan Recycling: Eldan Recycling (Denmark) designs and manufactures cable, tire, and WEEE recycling plants with shredders, granulators, and separation lines. It is the most direct global peer to MG Recycling, competing in the same copper/aluminum cable recovery niche with comparable modular turnkey offerings.
• Lindner-Recyclingtech: Lindner (Germany/Germany-Austria) builds shredders and complete recycling plants for plastics, metal, and mixed waste. It is a comparable direct competitor in size-reduction machinery sold to the same industrial recyclers that buy from MG Recycling.
• Vecoplan AG: Vecoplan (Germany) manufactures industrial shredders and processing systems for recycling and bulk material handling. Its size-reduction and separation equipment directly substitutes for MG Recycling's TR shredders and Matrix lines in metal recovery applications.
• BHS Sonthofen: BHS Sonthofen (Germany) supplies filtration, separation, and recycling technology including metal recovery systems. It competes with MG Recycling in air-separation and materials-recovery stages of recycling lines.
• WAMGROUP: WAMGROUP (Italy) manufactures conveying, screening, and separation equipment for bulk materials and recycling applications. Its vibratory separators and conveying components overlap with MG Recycling's vibrovagli and nastri components sold alongside complete plants.
• Forrec S.r.l. Forrec (Italy) designs shredders, granulators, and complete recycling systems for WEEE, refrigerators, and metals. It is a fellow Italian peer with overlapping technology in shredding, separation, and metal recovery, often competing in the same regional bids.
• Stokkermill: Stokkermill (Italy) produces grinding and separation machinery for cables, electronic boards, and non-ferrous scrap recovery. It directly overlaps with MG Recycling's VZT and air-separation plants and competes in the same Italian and European distribution channels.
• Weima: WEIMA (Germany) produces single-shaft and four-shaft shredders plus briquetting equipment for plastics, metal, and electronic scrap. It competes with MG Recycling's TR shredder series and with matrix-line size-reduction stages in metal recycling plants.
• Guidetti S.r.l. Guidetti (Italy) manufactures compact recycling systems for cables, electric motors, radiators, and printed circuit boards. As a fellow Italian SME with a nearly identical product philosophy (compact machines and turnkey plants for non-ferrous recovery), it is one of MG Recycling's closest direct competitors.

Broad incumbents

• Danieli & C. Danieli (Italy) is a large industrial group supplying plant and machinery for the metals industry, including downstream processing and recycling equipment. It is not a direct competitor in compact cable plants but represents the broader Italian metals-machinery incumbent against which MG Recycling's specialty offering must differentiate.
