What ANAMET S.A. recycling does

ANAMET S.A. (ΑΝΑΜΕΤ Ανώνυμη Εταιρεία) is a privately held Greek metal recycling company founded in 1966 in Asprópirgos, Attica, and currently led by CEO Georgios Voyatzis. It is the largest Greek processor and trader of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, operating a 1,000 HP shredding facility capable of handling approximately 400,000 tons of scrap per year and employing roughly 250 people across the group. Its product portfolio spans ferrous scrap (HMS1/2, pressed-sheared, shredded), non-ferrous scrap (copper, brass, aluminium, stainless steel), electric motors, miscellaneous metals, electronic scrap, catalytic converters, and baled plastics sourced from industrial waste, end-of-life vehicles (ELV), and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

The business operates through a B2B sales-led model, selling processed secondary raw materials under direct contracts to steel mills, copper/brass/aluminium manufacturers, and other industrial clients in Greece and abroad. Core technology comprises mechanical shredding, magnetic separation, and material sorting — augmented since 2010 by the VIANATT ABEE subsidiary's WEEE disassembly and CRT processing lines. ANAMET also offers services including mobile equipment rental, ELV shredding, WEEE collection, and corporate/industrial waste management consulting.

ANAMET runs an integrated compliance and licensing stack — EMAS III, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and EU Regulation 333/2011 — and is contracted with all major Greek collective waste management systems (Electrocycle for WEEE, EEAA/HERCO for packaging, EDOE for ELV). It operates across four countries (Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia) through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Inos Balkan DOO (acquired 2006), ANAMET doo (Serbia, 2003), Coppervalius eood (Bulgaria, 2004/2007), Novometal doo (North Macedonia, 2009), and VIANATT ABEE (Greece, 2010). Reported consolidated turnover reached 224 million EUR in 2010; more recent revenue data is not disclosed in the available input, though financial statements through 2024 are stated to be accessible.

Direct peers

• EMR Group (European Metal Recycling): One of the largest metal recyclers globally, headquartered in the UK. Directly comparable to ANAMET as a multi-country scrap metal collector, processor, and trader serving steel mills and non-ferrous smelters — but operating at materially larger scale across the UK, continental Europe, and North America.
• Stena Recycling: Swedish-headquartered metal and electronics recycler with pan-European operations, including shredding, ferrous/non-ferrous processing, and WEEE. Directly comparable to ANAMET's integrated platform, though Stena operates across more countries and at larger scale.
• Befesa SA: Luxembourg/Spain-listed recycler specializing in steel dust and aluminum salt slags from secondary metal processes. Comparable to ANAMET as a European metals recycling operator with a strong industrial customer base, though Befesa focuses on specific industrial by-product streams rather than ELV/WEEE.
• TSR Recycling GmbH & Co. KG: Germany's largest scrap metal recycler with shredding and processing infrastructure across Europe. Directly comparable to ANAMET in core activity (ferrous/non-ferrous collection, shredding, mill supply), but at substantially larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Scholz Recycling GmbH: German-headquartered metal recycling group historically active across Europe. Comparable to ANAMET as an integrated ferrous/non-ferrous recycler serving steel and non-ferrous industries, though Scholz operates at larger scale and broader geographic footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Aurubis AG: Germany-headquartered global copper smelter and recycler. ANAMET supplies copper scrap to similar end-markets; Aurubis represents a downstream incumbent buyer/processor that competes for the same non-ferrous feedstock ANAMET processes and trades.
• Umicore SA: Belgian materials technology and recycling group with a major precious and non-ferrous metals recycling business. Comparable as a sophisticated European metals recycler, though Umicore is materially larger, publicly listed, and operates further downstream into specialty materials.
• Veolia Environmental Services: Global waste management and recycling conglomerate active across Europe. Comparable to ANAMET in waste collection and metals recovery scope, though Veolia operates a much broader portfolio including municipal waste, water, and energy services.
• Suez Recycling and Recovery: French-headquartered waste management group with European metals recycling activities. Comparable to ANAMET in waste collection and secondary raw materials trading, though Suez operates much more broadly across municipal solid waste and industrial services.
• Renewi plc: UK/European waste-to-product company with significant ferrous and non-ferrous recycling operations including shredder activities in Belgium and the Netherlands. Comparable to ANAMET in scrap metal recovery, though Renewi operates at materially larger scale and broader service portfolio.
