What Syntom Metal Recycling sp. z o.o. does

Syntom Metal Recycling sp. z o.o. is a Polish metal scrap trading and processing company headquartered in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Warsaw Stock Exchange-listed Elemental Holding S.A. The company purchases non-ferrous and ferrous metal scrap from a broad supplier base spanning large industrial plants, small businesses, and individual customers, then processes and resells the materials to foundries, smelters, and metal processors both domestically and internationally.

Its core processing capability sits at the main Tomaszów Mazowiecki facility, which combines over 6,000 m2 of warehouse space, over 25,000 m2 of hardened outdoor storage, and infrastructure with capacity to process and store more than 10,000 tons of non-ferrous metal scrap. Processing equipment includes high-capacity shredders, Rasper modules, sorting lines, and water tables that separate metal fractions from non-metallic contamination to high purity levels; every outgoing shipment is verified by spectrometer-based quality control. Logistics are handled through the company's own fleet of self-loading hook trucks and over 250 specialized containers, eliminating dependence on third-party carriers for collection and delivery.

Commercially, Syntom operates a transaction-based model that captures the spread between scrap purchase prices and selling prices to industrial buyers, with no publicly disclosed pricing or subscription component. Distribution runs through a network of over a dozen branches across Polish voivodeships, supported by 200+ employees and a Slovak subsidiary. The business is positioned within the Elemental Holding ecosystem alongside sibling recyclers in Germany, Finland, Turkey, Texas and other geographies, giving it access to cross-border sourcing and offtake channels that no standalone Polish scrap trader of comparable size could replicate.
