What Baltic Metal does
Baltic Metal UAB is a Lithuanian metal scrap collector, processor, and recycler founded in 2009 in Kaunas, operating three owned scrap yards in Lithuania's three largest cities (Kaunas, Vilnius, and Klaipėda). The company purchases ferrous metals (steel, iron), non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel), lead batteries, end-of-life vehicles, metal packaging, and electrical/electronic equipment from both businesses and individuals, and sells processed materials to manufacturers. It is licensed by the Lithuanian EPA to handle hazardous waste and maintains ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications.
The company's technical core centers on a SPECTRO MAX 9 Advance spectroscopic laboratory for precise metal composition analysis, certified 60-ton electronic scales, and (through its wholly-owned subsidiary UAB Baltic Foundry) German manufacturing equipment for producing precision chemical composition metal ingots from sorted recycled scrap. Beyond core scrap collection, Baltic Metal offers container rental, mobile collection within 24 hours, on-site demolition and cutting services, and issuance of documentation including end-of-life vehicle destruction certificates for the Regitra deregistration process.
Revenue is generated primarily through the spread between market-rate scrap purchase prices and resale prices paid by manufacturers, supplemented by managed services revenue from container rental, professional services revenue from demolition and certificate issuance, and downstream ingot sales from Baltic Foundry. Pricing is market-based and fluctuates daily, with same-day payment upon metal delivery. The go-to-market is sales-led and physical: customers bring metal to a yard or the company dispatches its own transport for larger volumes. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, no parent company, and approximately 70 employees.

Baltic Metal competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Kuusakoski: Finnish family-owned metal recycler operating yards across Northern Europe. Closely comparable in business model: ferrous and non-ferrous scrap collection, processing, and sale to mills and foundries. Same geographic adjacency in the Baltic/Nordic region.
- Trimet Aluminum: European producer of aluminum semi-finished products from both primary and recycled feedstock. Most directly comparable to Baltic Foundry's aluminum semi-product offering using sorted recycled scrap as input.
Broad incumbents
- European Metal Recycling (EMR): UK-headquartered global scrap metal recycler with extensive European yards. Operates the same ferrous/non-ferrous collection-to-foundry value chain as Baltic Metal at much larger scale, providing a benchmark for what scaled operations look like.
- Stena Recycling: Swedish-owned diversified recycling group with metal scrap operations across Northern Europe. Comparable end-to-end scrap handling model including hazardous waste licensing and end-of-life vehicle processing—adjacent to Baltic Metal's service mix.
- Sims Metal Management: Global publicly listed scrap metal recycler. Provides a public-market benchmark for collection-yard economics, ferrous/non-ferrous spread capture, and downstream secondary metal processing.
- Scholz Recycling: German-based pan-European scrap metal recycler and secondary smelter. Comparable because it combines yard-based collection with downstream secondary smelting, mirroring Baltic Metal + Baltic Foundry's vertical structure.
- Radius Recycling: North American scrap metal recycler with global operations. Comparable in its yard-based collection model plus downstream metal products; useful as a reference for scaled, vertically integrated recycling businesses.
Others
- TOMRA: Norwegian provider of sensor-based sorting and recycling technology. Adjacent rather than competitive: Baltic Metal's manual/Spectro-based sorting is a candidate area for automation, and TOMRA represents the technology trajectory of the industry.
Regional players
- SIA Velve: Latvian metal scrap recycler and processor. Comparable business model (ferrous/non-ferrous collection yards) and represents the most direct geographic expansion adjacency for Baltic Metal into Latvia.
- METAL Group: Lithuanian metal scrap purchasing and recycling company operating domestic yards. Direct domestic competitor with overlapping customer base (industrial sellers, vehicle deregistration) in the same Lithuanian geography.
