Nicrometal S.A.

What Nicrometal S.A. does

Nicrometal S.A. is a Polish industrial waste management and recycling company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Toruń, kujawsko-pomorskie, operating through a network of seven branches (Toruń, Bydgoszcz, Bytom, Wrocław/Stary Zamek, Dębica, Łubianka). The company serves more than 800 enterprises across at least eight industrial verticals — aerospace, automotive, chemical, food, energy, mechanical, military/defense, and plastics — providing collection, segregation, transport, recycling, and recovery of steel scrap, non-ferrous metals, superalloys and titanium, stainless steel, plastics, hazardous waste, paper, and electronic equipment. Nicrometal operates over 50 types of waste containers at client facilities and issues documented recycling confirmation (DPR/DPO certificates) to close the recycling loop for producers. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, a Ministry of Interior and Administration (MSWiA) concession, and biomass-related certifications (KZR INIG, REDcert-EU, WSK), and is one of the largest contractors of the Military Property Agency.

The company's underlying technology combines physical recycling infrastructure with two proprietary R&D platforms developed through EU-co-financed projects: the GEKON project (2016-2018, PLN 12.0M total) built a PET-G film recycling demonstration line producing pellets for polymer manufacturing, and the Innovative Recycling project (2018-2020, PLN 5.7M total) developed a chemical cleaning process that recovers nickel and titanium superalloys to aerospace-grade purity. The corporate group also includes Nicro-Plast Sp. z o.o. (plastic processing and injection molding) and MRJ Metal Recycling Sp. z o.o. (metal recycling operations), enabling vertical integration of the recycling value chain.

Nicrometal generates revenue through three streams: (1) industrial waste collection and recycling service fees, with pricing influenced by secondary raw material market conditions; (2) environmental consulting and documentation services, including BDO database management offered on a tiered subscription model (PLN 449 to PLN 1,249 net per month based on KPO volume), ADR consulting, audits, and sectoral decisions; and (3) sales of stainless steel and aluminum sheets, tubes, and profiles, priced individually per customer specification. The company pursues a sales-led B2B go-to-market with direct outreach to industrial manufacturers, supported by dedicated phone and email contact points per service line and per branch. Revenue, shareholding structure beyond the announced Cyprus-domiciled merger entities, and financial performance are not publicly disclosed.
