Soligon

What Soligon does

Soligon Spa is a privately held Italian scrap metal recycler and trader headquartered in Santa Lucia di Piave, Treviso, operating since 1983. The company recovers, processes, and commercializes ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals, treating approximately 200,000 tonnes of material annually for national and international markets. Its 50,000 sq m facility (5,000 sq m covered) is equipped with presses, shear presses, radiometric control instruments, and an in-house chemical analytical laboratory for alloy identification, and is supported by an owned logistics fleet including interchangeable tippers, dumpers, and forklifts. Soligon also offers industrial demolition services, further extending its role in the scrap supply chain.

The company serves as a partner to major steel mills and foundries of non-oxidizable metals, sourcing from more than 600 suppliers and selling to more than 100 clients across 25+ countries spanning Europe, Africa, and Asia. Approximately 15,000 tonnes per year flow through a separate commercial mediation line, indicating a dual role as both processor and trade intermediary. Pricing is quote-based B2B commodity trading with no public pricing disclosure.

Soligon monetizes through transaction-fee economics on scrap metal trading, commercial mediation, and logistics/transport services. Its cost base is anchored by the capital-intensive Treviso facility and vehicle fleet, while a fully paid-up share capital of €2,500,000 and a workforce of 11–50 employees underscore a capital-intensive, low-headcount operating model. The company maintains a dense regulatory and certification stack — ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, EU Guidelines 715/2013 and 333/2011, AQSIQ license (China), Italian Commercial Mediation Category 8 authorization, and Transport Authorization VE 0551 — and has been a member of the Bureau of International Recycling since 2005. GTM is sales-led, direct to enterprise industrial buyers, with no digital or retail channels.
