Ferolmet

What Ferolmet does

Ferolmet Srl is an Italian environmental services company founded in 1980, operating as a subsidiary of the Itelyum group within Itelyum Ambiente. The company is headquartered in San Giuliano Milanese (Milan) with a secondary operational site in Filighera (Pavia), both in the Lombardy region. Ferolmet specializes in the management and treatment of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste, with activities spanning commerce, intermediation, treatment, and transport of urban and special waste, including ferrous and non-ferrous materials, used oils, and chemical products and derivatives. Its service portfolio covers waste disposal, specialized transport (with vehicles equipped for liquid waste pumping), environmental remediation (asbestos removal, underground tank decontamination, facility decommissioning), industrial cleaning and purging, container rental, and regulatory and environmental compliance consulting.

The company's core technology comprises physical waste treatment, recovery, conditioning, and preliminary storage operations, supplemented by the Freccia Verde digital platform — a software tool designed for operational waste management coordination across the customer interface. Ferolmet operates under a comprehensive regulatory authorization framework (MI02357 series of permits) and holds ISO 14001 and EMAS environmental management certifications. Itelyum publishes annual sustainability reports aligned to GRI standards, under which Ferolmet operates.

Ferolmet's business model is professional services-based with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through waste management services, environmental remediation, container rental, and consulting/compliance engagements. The go-to-market is sales-led, targeting industrial companies and artisanal businesses in Lombardy. Customer acquisition occurs through direct sales engagement, with the company providing normative and environmental compliance support alongside core waste management services. As a subsidiary within Itelyum, Ferolmet's commercial reach is largely regional, relying on direct service delivery from its own fleet and facilities.
