What kovosrot group cz sro does

KOVOŠROT GROUP CZ s.r.o. (trading as Kovošrot) is a privately held Czech limited liability company headquartered in Prague that purchases and recycles secondary raw materials, with end-of-life vehicle processing as a regulated core competency. Its product portfolio spans ferrous scrap (iron, cast iron, heavy steel waste), non-ferrous metals (copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, zinc, lead, cables, electric motors), catalytic converters, automotive batteries, paper, and plastics, plus environmentally compliant dismantling of end-of-life vehicles with issuance of official deregistration certificates.

The company operates a network of 9 main plants and 30 additional branches across all major Czech regions, supported by a specialized shredder processing line that crushes vehicles and heterogeneous metal waste, followed by magnetic drum separation to extract ferrous fractions, fluid extraction systems for environmental compliance, and downstream storage for direct sale to steel mills and specialized processors. It holds EN ISO 9001:2015 and EN ISO 14001:2015 certifications, is registered in the MA ISOH information system as an authorized end-of-life vehicle processor, and is co-financed by the Czech State Environmental Fund.

Revenue is generated transactionally through commodity-based purchase-and-resale of scrap materials, with pricing that fluctuates with market conditions and is published on the company website; individual quotations are provided for larger B2B volumes. Go-to-market combines physical drop-off at 39 collection points serving households and SMBs with regional sales representatives managing relationships with industrial customers including Škoda Auto, ZF, Knorr Bremse, Aero Vodochody, Kern-Liebers, and Linde+Wiemann. Catalyst purchasing is operated in partnership with ReMetall Deutschland AG via its Czech entity, and two partner-operators (Evometal s.r.o. and Sekpro s.r.o.) run named collection points, extending the effective network footprint.
