What Fenix Metals does

Fenix Metals Sp. z o.o. is a Poland-headquartered, privately held secondary tin refiner and solder alloy manufacturer that recovers high-purity tin and by-product metals (silver, gold, copper, lead) from industrial tin-containing residues. The company operates a single refining plant in Chmielów (Tarnobrzeg area) with 16,000 tonnes of annual raw material processing capacity and 5,500 tonnes of pure tin production, producing tin up to 99.99% Sn across four quality grades (including low-lead variants) and over 250 SKUs in ingot, bar, rod, wire, anode, pellet, and granule forms, plus solders, fluxes, white metals, and antimonial lead. The technology stack centres on high-temperature pyrometallurgical refining combined with an in-house sampling and ISO 9001-certified analytical laboratory (ICP-OES, ED-XRF, spark spectrometers, AAS) that processes over 2,500 raw material batches per year with 99% trust-sampling.

Fenix generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales of refined tin, solder alloys, and specialty alloys to European electronics, automotive, chemical, and construction manufacturers, supplemented by processing fees paid by industrial residue suppliers. The business model is quote-based, B2B, and channelled through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Belgium, the UK (including acquired DKL Metals and DS Metals), Germany, and Spain, plus a commercial agent network covering more than 25 European countries and the Middle East via sister company Falcon Metals in Dubai. Its commercial edge rests on regulatory and sustainability credentials (first ITA Tin Code-conformant producer, RMAP, REACH, ISO 9001/14001/45001, TFS pre-approval) and a verified 3.6 t CO2e/t carbon footprint that materially undercuts primary tin mining. The company is jointly owned by legacy founding partners DAN ENGINEERING, Stoop, and Wildshaw, employs 270 people, and reported €240 million in annual revenue.
