TSR Czech Republic

What TSR Czech Republic does

TSR Czech Republic s.r.o. is the largest processor of metal waste and non-ferrous metals in the Czech Republic, operating since 1991 (originally founded as COMET) and headquartered in Praha 8. Since 2006 the entity has been part of the TSR Group, itself owned by REMONDIS SE & Co. KG, one of the world's largest providers of recycling, municipal/industrial services, and water management. The company operates 32+ owned branches and processing establishments distributed across all major Czech regions.

The company purchases ferrous and non-ferrous metals (iron, aluminium, copper, bronze, brass, lead, zinc, stainless steel, cables, and car batteries) from industrial manufacturers, tradesmen, and individuals, then processes them through 16 hydraulic shearers, 12 hydraulic presses, 4 beaters, separation lines for non-ferrous sorting, and high-temperature processing. The asset base includes 50+ excavators, 90+ trucks, 1,400+ containers, and 3 crane tracks. Annual processing volume is approximately 923,000 tonnes of metal, with energy savings claims of 95% (aluminium), 85% (copper), and 74% (steel) versus primary production. Beyond metal recycling, the company offers demolition and dismantling services, paper purchase, electrical and electronic equipment take-back (WEELABEX-certified at four sites), battery take-back, and scrap vehicle eco-disposal through its 2022 acquisition of PV Recyklace.

The business model combines transaction-based purchase/resale of metal with managed services for industrial clients: container lending, scheduled waste collection, and customized logistics supported by dedicated regional sales representatives. Pricing is quote-based and varies by establishment, material type, quantity, and delivery terms. The company reports 1,150+ long-term industrial customers (including ŠKODA TRANSPORTATION, Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech, FOXCONN CZ, BILSTEIN CEE, ČEZ, and Česká zbrojovka) and recorded annual turnover of 14.1 billion CZK. The 2018-established subsidiary Metal Services & Solutions provides equipment maintenance and modernization internally and to third parties across Europe.

Emerging players

• Aurubis AG: European copper smelter and recycler of non-ferrous metals, including significant secondary copper and precious metals recovery. Comparable non-ferrous processing capability, but TSR is a feedstock supplier rather than a downstream smelter.

Direct peers

• Sims Metal Management (Sims Limited): Listed global metal recycling and trading company operating yards across North America, UK, and Australasia. Most direct public-market comparator for TSR's ferrous/non-ferrous scrap merchant and processing model.
• Stena Recycling: Swedish recycling arm of the Stena Group, one of Northern Europe's largest recyclers with integrated metal, electronics, and hazardous waste operations. Comparable breadth of services and customer base.
• Kuusakoski Oy: Finnish family-owned metal recycling group operating across Northern and Central Europe with full-service scrap yards, processing, and refining operations. Closely comparable business model and customer mix to TSR.
• EMR Group (European Metal Recycling): One of the largest metal recyclers globally, headquartered in the UK, operating processing facilities and downstream processing for ferrous and non-ferrous scrap. Highly comparable to TSR's scrap purchase, processing, and merchant model at much larger European scale.
• ELG Haniel GmbH (now part of SUEZ/Veolia): Specialist stainless steel and high-alloy scrap recycler with processing yards across Europe. Comparable operating model in non-ferrous and specialty scrap trading serving foundries and mills.
• TSR Recycling GmbH & Co. KG: Parent holding entity and direct sister operation of TSR Czech Republic. Operates the broader 170-branch European scrap recycling network across multiple countries with identical service lines (purchase, processing, shredding).
• Scholz Recycling GmbH (now part of Chiho Environmental Group / Befesa): Major German ferrous and non-ferrous metal recycler with processing yards, shredder operations, and downstream services. Directly comparable to TSR's scrap collection, processing, and merchant activities in the DACH/Central European market.

Broad incumbents

• REMONDIS SE & Co. KG: Parent conglomerate and one of the world's largest privately held recycling, water, and environmental services groups. TSR operates as a metal-recycling subsidiary within REMONDIS' broader waste-management portfolio.
• SUEZ Recycling & Recovery (now part of Veolia): Major international environmental services group with extensive metal recovery operations and downstream processing. A broader incumbent offering overlapping capabilities across waste streams at pan-European scale.
